In a large bowl, combine the lime juice, orange juice, vinegar, mustard, and honey. Gradually whisk in the olive oil, whisking constantly until the dressing emulsifies. Add the green beans, orange and grapefruit segments, cilantro, red onion, and jalapeño; toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste and garnish with almonds.
