1. Zest the lime and the mandarin with a fine grater and keep each zest separate. Peel the lime and slice it into thin rounds. Peel the mandarin, navel orange and grapefruit, then cut out the sections over a bowl to catch the juice.

2. Dice the shallots and place them in a small bowl with the lemon juice, olive oil and salt. Let stand for 10 minutes so the shallots soften slightly.

3. Stir the mandarin zest into the shallot dressing. Tear the romaine into bite-sized pieces, rinse, and dry thoroughly.

4. Put the romaine in a large bowl. Drizzle with the shallot dressing and toss gently until the leaves are evenly coated.

5. Add the orange, mandarin, and grapefruit sections along with the lime slices. Toss lightly so the fruit is distributed without breaking up the sections.

6. Divide the salad among four plates. Sprinkle the reserved lime zest over each serving and serve right away.
