Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high. Add shallot slices and cook, stirring often, until golden and crispy, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel and sprinkle lightly with salt.
Step 2
Whisk lime juice, 3 tbsp olive oil, and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a small bowl until combined.
Step 3
Toss greens with half the dressing in a large bowl. Divide between plates and arrange orange and grapefruit segments on top.
Step 4
Halve the avocados, scoop into thick slices, and fan them over each salad. Drizzle with remaining dressing.
Step 5
Top with crispy shallots. Serve immediately.
