1/4 cup pomegranate juice
1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons agave nectar
1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
1/2 cup canola oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 red grapefruit
2 navel oranges
1 pound jicama, peeled and cut into 2-by-1/4-inch matchsticks
2 bunches watercress, thick stems discarded
1/3 cup pomegranate seeds

In a blender, combine the pomegranate juice, vinegar, agave nectar, mustard and lime zest. With the machine on, add the oil in a thin stream and blend until emulsified. Season the dressing with salt and pepper.
Using a sharp knife, peel the grapefruit and oranges, removing all of the bitter white pith. Working over a bowl, cut in between the membranes to release the sections. Add the jicama, watercress and pomegranate seeds to the bowl. Add the dressing, toss gently and serve right away.
