The Salad
1 small head butter lettuce, torn into medium pieces
1 pomelo, peeled and cut into supremes (See note below about reserving some juice.)
1 Cara Cara orange, peeled and cut into supremes
8-10 Picholine or Castelvetrano olives (or use both kinds)
8 - 10 Marcona almonds (or any roasted whole almonds)
The Dressing
2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon lime juice
1 teaspoon Meyer lemon juice
1 tablespoon pomelo juice (See note below.)
1 teaspoon grated zest of a Meyer lemon
1 teaspoon grated zest of a pomelo
1 tiny pinch of ground coriander (or, for a completely different take, finely crushed star anise)
1 tiny pinch of salt, plus more, to taste, if desired
A few drops of honey (or more to taste, depending on the tartness of your pomelo)
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Black or white peppercorns

1
Mix all of the ingredients for the dressing except the olive oil in a jar; stir well and allow it to sit for at least an hour.
2
Strain, if you're so inclined. Otherwise, add the olive oil and shake well for about thirty seconds.
3
Toss the lettuce in about 2 tablespoons of the dressing. If that's not enough, add a bit more and toss again. Test for salt and correct.
4
Arrange the lettuce on a plate, then arrange the other ingredients. Drizzle on more dressing if desired. Grind on some black or white pepper.
5
Enjoy!! ;o)

N.B. To get the pomelo juice you need for this, simply use a strainer that's larger than your fist, through which you squeeze hard with your hand what's left after cutting away the supremes. ;o)
