Using a sharp knife, cut the top and bottom ends off the grapefruits and oranges. Stand them upright on a cutting board and carefully slice away the peel and pith, following the natural curve of the fruit.
Once peeled, cut the grapefruits and oranges into segments by slicing between the membranes to release the fruit. Place the segments in a large bowl, and be sure to collect any juice that drips during the process.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set the dressing aside.
Chop the fresh mint leaves finely. Add the chopped mint to the bowl of citrus segments.
If using, gently toss in the pomegranate arils and baby arugula for added texture and flavor.
Drizzle the honey-olive oil dressing over the citrus salad. Toss everything gently to coat the fruit evenly in the dressing.
Transfer the salad to a serving platter or individual plates. Garnish with a few whole mint leaves for presentation, if desired.
Serve immediately as a refreshing starter or side dish.
