• ½ cup pistachios or walnuts, chopped
• 1 medium shallot or red onion, thinly sliced
• ¼ cup chopped dried fruit (cranberries, apricots, or dates work great)

1️⃣ Whisk Up the Dressing – In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, lime juice, agave, apple cider vinegar, and salt. Taste and adjust as needed.

2️⃣ Toss the Salad – In a large bowl, combine the arugula, mandarins, grapefruit (if using), shallots, dried fruit, and nuts.

3️⃣ Dress It Up – Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat everything in that citrusy goodness.

4️⃣ Serve & Enjoy – This salad is best enjoyed fresh but holds up well for meal prep—just keep the dressing separate until you’re ready to dig in.
