Brush 2 teaspoons lemon juice over flesh of avacados; set aside.
Remove peel and pith from grapefruit using a sharp knife. Working over a medium bowl to catch the juice, carefully carve out segments from between the membranes. Transfer grapefruit segments to a small bowl; set aside. Reserve juice in a bowl.
Add 1/4 cup of lemon juice, salt, and tarragon to the grapefruit juice; season with pepper. Whisk in oil in a slow, steady stream. Add grapefruit sections; toss gently just to coat.
Place each acacado half on a plate. Top with grapefruit mixture, dividing evenly.
