Steps:
- Place the mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until the vinaigrette is emulsified.
- Before serving, cut the avocados in 1/2, remove the seeds, and carefully peel off the skin. Cut each half into 4 thick slices. Toss the avocado slices in the vinaigrette to prevent them from turning brown. Use a large, sharp knife to slice the peel off the grapefruits (be sure to remove all the white pith), then cut between the membranes to release the grapefruit segments.
- Arrange the avocado slices around the edge of a large platter. Arrange the grapefruit segments in the center. Spoon the vinaigrette on top, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and serve.

Steps:
- Slice the top and bottom off one of the grapefruits. Stand it up on a cut side and, using a small sharp knife, slice off the peel and pith, following the curve of the fruit. Save the peels (there should be some red fruit clinging to the pith). Repeat with the other grapefruit. Slice both grapefruits into quarter-inch-thick rounds and arrange on a platter. Evenly sprinkle the dates on top.
- Squeeze the juice from the grapefruit peel into a small bowl. You should have about a tablespoon. If there is less, squeeze some from one of the grapefruit slices. Add the shallot and a pinch of salt; let sit for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, thinly slice the radicchio and add to a bowl. Add the shallot and grapefruit juice and toss to combine. Toss in 3 tablespoons of the oil.
- Sprinkle grapefruit slices with salt and drizzle with the remaining oil. Place a mound of the radicchio in the middle of the grapefruit, leaving a border of the fruit exposed. Sprinkle with pistachios and black pepper and serve immediately.

Tips:
- Use ripe fruits: This will ensure that your salad is sweet and flavorful. You can tell if a mango is ripe by its color (it should be yellow or orange) and its texture (it should be slightly soft to the touch).
- Choose fresh, flavorful oranges and grapefruits: Look for fruits that are heavy for their size and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid fruits that have any signs of bruising or decay.
- Use ripe avocados: Avocados should be slightly soft to the touch and should yield to gentle pressure. Avoid avocados that are too hard or too soft.
- Toast the pistachios: This will enhance their flavor and make them more crunchy. To toast pistachios, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. You can make the dressing up to 2 days in advance and store it in the refrigerator.
- Assemble the salad just before serving: This will prevent the avocado from browning and the salad from getting soggy.
Conclusion:
With its vibrant colors and contrasting textures, this mango, orange, grapefruit, avocado, and pistachio salad is a feast for the eyes and the taste buds. The sweet and tangy fruits are perfectly complemented by the creamy avocado and crunchy pistachios. The dressing, made with lime juice, olive oil, and honey, adds a refreshing finishing touch. This salad is perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it's also a great way to use up leftover fruit.
