  3. Place the rocket in a bowl, add the grapefruit segments and avocados and drizzle over the dressing just before serving.
Top Tip for making Avocado grapefruit and rocket salad

To test an avocado for freshness, pull out the stem. If it's green underneath, it'll be ripe and creamy - if it's brown, it's too far gone.
