1. Rinse and pat dry the mixed greens, then set them aside in a large salad bowl.
2. Using a sharp knife, peel the grapefruit by cutting off both ends and slicing away the outer peel and white pith. Cut between the membranes to segment the fruit, placing the segments in a small bowl and reserving any juice for the dressing.
3. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and carefully scoop out the flesh. Slice it into thin wedges.
4. Thinly slice the red onion into fine rings or half-moons, depending on your preference.
5. Toast the slivered almonds in a small dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until golden brown and fragrant (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
6. In a small jar or bowl, combine 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1.5 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon honey, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 0.25 teaspoon salt, 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, and any reserved grapefruit juice. Shake or whisk well to emulsify the dressing.
7. Arrange the mixed greens in the salad bowl, distributing the grapefruit segments, avocado slices, and red onion evenly on top.
8. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine, ensuring everything is lightly coated.
9. Sprinkle the toasted almonds over the salad as a final garnish and serve immediately.
