Lobster with Grapefruit and Avocado

The grapefruit juice in the vinaigrette, along with the grapefruit sections in the salad, accent the sweetness of the succulent lobster. Smooth, creamy avocado adds a hint of richness. If using frozen lobster tails, allow enough time to thaw them overnight in the refrigerator.
