Winter Green Salad with Blood Oranges & Blue Cheese

We had the most delicious salad for my birthday dinner last week.  It was the perfect little birthday dinner with family.  Andy made a pot of lobster & crab bisque that was to die for.  I made some sourdough baguettes.  We had some baked brie with some roasted garlic and my cherry conserves that I made from my mom's sour cherry tree.  We had lots of red wine and this cheery, beautiful salad.

I'm glad that I got a picture of it because the girls immediately started picking off the olives like they were candy.
