Fresh, summery light, spicy, full of flavor and tang.
Thank you barefoot contessa, thank you!

p.s. here are the quantities and directions:
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup good olive oil
- 4 ripe Hass avocados
- 2 large red grapefruits
Before serving, cut the avocados in 1/2, remove the seeds, and carefully peel off the skin. Cut each half into 4 thick slices. Toss the avocado slices in the vinaigrette to prevent them from turning brown. Use a large, sharp knife to slice the peel off the grapefruits (be sure to remove all the white pith), then cut between the membranes to release the grapefruit segments.
Arrange the avocado slices around the edge of a large platter. Arrange the grapefruit segments in the center. Spoon the vinaigrette on top, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and serve.
This Looks AMAZING...I am so trying it. Barefoot Contessa is one of my favorite "hi I'm obsessed with food network" shows...did you know she worked on nuclear energy policy for the white house? Yeah, she mentioned it once and I looked it up...under Ford and Carter-I just love the idea of policy analyst turned chef. I am so making this. Love you!
