• Cut the celery root into matchsticks and add it to the dressing. Toss to coat thoroughly, and let marinate for 1 hour.
• To serve, put the watercress in a large bowl. Drain the marinated celery root, reserving the dressing, and add it to the watercress. Add a few tablespoons of the dressing and toss. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the salad among the plates, topping each one with the grapefruit sections. Using a vegetable peeler, shave several thin pieces of Grana Padano over each salad.

Steps:

• With a serrated knife cut the zest and pith from the grapefruits and working over a bowl cut the flesh into sections, discarding the membranes and reserving 6 tablespoons of the juice. Peel and pit the avocados and cut them into 12 wedges. In a bowl sprinkle the avocados with 3 tablespoons of the reserved grapefruit juice, coating them thoroughly. In another bowl whisk together the remaining 3 tablespoons reserved grapefruit juice, the vinegar, the mustard, the paprika, and salt and pepper to taste, add the oil in a stream, whisking, and whisk the dressing until it is emulsified. In a large bowl toss the watercress with two thirds of the dressing and divide it among 4 salad plates. Top the watercress decoratively with the avocado wedges, drained, and the grapefruit sections, sprinkle the salads with in Roquefort, and drizzle them with the remaining dressing.

Steps:

• Dressing:
• First make the dressing. Combine the mustard and sherry vinegar in a bowl and add a pinch each of salt and pepper. Whisk in the olive oil, followed by the hazelnut oil to emulsify, then set aside.
• Salad:
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Place the nuts on a baking sheet and roast in the middle of the oven for 3 to 4 minutes to warm and release their flavor. Turn into a cloth and rub gently to remove the skins, then roughly chop the nuts.
• For the salad, wash the watercress and gently pat dry. Peel the grapefruit, removing all the pith, then cut out the segments over a large bowl to catch the juice as well as the segments. Halve, pit, and peel the avocado, then cut into slices, similar in size to the grapefruit. Add to the grapefruit with the watercress and toss gently with your fingers to mix.
• If the dressing has separated on standing, give it a whisk, then drizzle half of it over the salad and toss lightly, so you don't break up the avocado or grapefruit. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
• Arrange the salad on a plate, interleaving the prosciutto slices and romano if using, with the watercress, grapefruit, and avocado. Sprinkle with the minced parsley and drizzle over the remaining dressing. Finally, scatter over the hazelnuts and serve.

Steps:

• Make the dressing: Whisk together ginger, garlic, lime juice, vinegar, sesame oil, and sugar in a small bowl. Gradually add olive oil, whisking constantly until fully combined. Set aside.
• Remove peel and pith from grapefruit. Holding over a medium bowl, carve out flesh between the membranes, letting segments drop into the bowl (you should have about 3/4 cup segments). Add watercress. Pour dressing over watercress and grapefruit; toss to coat. Sprinkle with walnuts. Season with salt and pepper.
