Directions:
- Peel grapefruit and cut out each section between the membrane.
- Prepare arugula by tearing into pieces, washing and drying. Cut off tops of watercress and wash and spin dry along with the arugula. A salad spinner is the best way of doing this.
- Mix together dressing ingredients, toss with salad greens and grapefruit sections and top with chopped walnuts.
