2. Cut the grapefruit segments into pieces. Squeeze the juice from the membranes into the bowl.
3. Whisk the sour cream, 2 tablespoons of the grapefruit juice, the grapefruit zest, scallions, 2 tablespoons water and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a bowl.
4. Toss the watercress, endive, lettuce, celery and onion in a large bowl.
5. Add the dressing and toss to coat. Divide the salad among shallow bowls. Top with the reserved grapefruit segments and the smoked trout.
