Peel the oranges and grapefruit, then slice them into thin rounds or segments. Remove any seeds.
Cut the lime in half and juice it into a small bowl. Reserve the juice for the dressing.
Wash and dry the baby spinach leaves and arugula. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Cut the avocado into thin slices or small cubes.
In the same mixing bowl, gently toss together the spinach, arugula, citrus slices, and avocado.
Prepare the dressing by whisking together the lime juice, honey, olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to evenly coat the ingredients.
Sprinkle the pistachios over the top for added crunch and flavor.
Divide the salad into two servings and plate. Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, tangy flavors!
