Ingredients

  • ½ cup plus 2 teaspoons lemon juice, 2 lemons
  • 2 avocados, preferably hass, halved lengthwise and pitted
  • 2 grapefruit
  • .75 teaspoon coarse salt
  • 2 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon, plus more for garnish
  • fresh ground pepper
  • ¼ cup walnut oil
  • lime wedges, for serving

Directions

Brush 2 teaspoons lemon juice over flesh of avocados; set aside.

Remove peel and pith from grapefruit using a sharp paring knife. Working over a medium bowl to catch the juice, carefully carve out segments from between membranes. Transfer grapefruit segments to a small bowl; set aside. Reserve juice in bowl.

Add ¼ cup lemon juice, the salt, and tarragon to the grapefruit juice; season with pepper. Whisk in oil in a slow, steady stream. Add grapefruit sections; toss gently just to coat.

Place each avocado half on a plate. Top with grapefruit mixture, dividing evenly. Garnish with tarragon. Serve with lime wedges.
