Whisk 2 tablespoons maple syrup, chili powder, cinnamon and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a small bowl.

Add pistachios and toss to coat.

Spread in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Remove from the oven and cool completely; the nuts will harden and become crunchy as they cool.

Add oil in a gradual stream, whisking to emulsify.

Season with pepper to taste.

Combine cabbage and kale in a large bowl.

Drizzle with 3 tablespoons of the vinaigrette.

Transfer the vegetables to a serving platter.

Top with orange and grapefruit segments.

Drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons vinaigrette and sprinkle with the pistachios.

Refrigerate dressing (Step 3) for up to 3 days; shake well before using.

Cut a thin slice off the top and bottom of the fruit with a large sharp knife.

Place on a cutting board.

Remove the peel and white pith below, following the curve of the fruit as you go.

Working over a bowl, switch to a small sharp knife and cut each segment from the surrounding membranes.

Squeeze any extra juice from the membranes, if desired.
