- Combine the reserved grapefruit sections, chicken, avocado and green onions in a bowl.
- Combine the 1/3 cup reserved grapefruit juice with the other dressing ingredients.
- Pour over the chicken mixture; mix lightly.
- Cover and chill for 30 minutes.
- To serve, use a slotted spoon to transfer the chicken mixture to the grapefruit shells, then top with as much dressing as desired.
- *Note: To scallop any citrus fruit shell, cut in half crosswise.
- Carefully ream out the juice or cut out the flesh with a grapefruit knife.
- The edges of the shell can be notched with kitchen shears or a paring knife; for scallops, use a coin to outline the pattern; then cut around the pattern.
