Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lay the beets on one end of a sheet of aluminum foil, sprinkle with olive oil and season with salt. Fold over the remaining foil and crimp the edges to seal. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until fork tender. Cool and peel, then slice into $(7$)-inch-thick half-moons.
- Segment the grapefruit and set aside the membrane. Gently pat the segments dry with a paper towel. Squeeze 1* teaspoons juice from the membrane and reserve.
- Combine shallot, reserved grapefruit juice, lemon juice and salt to taste in a bowl. Let sit for 10 minutes. Whisk in mustard, then 3 tablespoons olive oil. Adjust seasoning.
- In a large bowl, add the beets, grapefruit segments and watercress. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Gently fold the dressing into the salad.
