##INSTRUCTIONS## 1. Cut off top and bottom of grapefruit. Using a knife, cut off peel in strips, from top to bottom, removing white pith. Holding grapefruit over a bowl, cut out each segment, leaving inner membrane intact. Set aside. Squeeze membrane to extract juice, then discard. Strain juice into a small bowl. 2. In a large bowl, combine pomegranate molasses, lime juice, mustard, sugar and salt. Whisk in 3 tablespoons of grapefruit juice, then oil. 3. Toss watercress and greens with vinaigrette. Plate greens with grapefruit segments, avocado and onion. Garnish with cilantro and freshly ground pepper. Serves 6
