Wash and pat dry the baby spinach. Place it in a large salad bowl.
Peel the pink grapefruits. Using a sharp knife, segment the grapefruit by carefully cutting out each wedge between the membrane. Work over a bowl to catch any juice.
Add the grapefruit segments to the spinach in the salad bowl. Set the collected juice aside for the dressing.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of the reserved grapefruit juice. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Toast the slivered almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Drizzle the citrus vinaigrette over the spinach and grapefruit in the salad bowl. Toss gently to evenly coat the salad.
Sprinkle the toasted slivered almonds over the top as a finishing touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Spinach and Pink Grapefruit Salad!
