Steps:
- Mix mayonnaise, yogurt, orange juice, orange peel and Cajun seasoning in small bowl to blend. (Dressing can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

Place chopped lettuce in another large bowl. Using small sharp knife, cut off peel and white pith from grapefruit. Cut between membranes to release grapefruit segments. Cut segments in half. Place in bowl with chopped lettuce. Add diced pear, diced apple, halved grapes and chopped dates. Add dressing to salad and toss to coat.
- Transfer salad to leaf-lined bowl. Sprinkle salad with pine nuts and serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
- If you don't have celery on hand, you can substitute jicama or fennel.
- For a sweeter salad, use honeycrisp or fuji apples. For a tarter salad, use granny smith or braeburn apples.
- If you don't have walnuts, you can substitute pecans or almonds.
- To make the dressing, you can use either mayonnaise or Greek yogurt. If you use Greek yogurt, you may want to add a little bit of honey or maple syrup to sweeten it.
- Serve the salad immediately after making it, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
