Antioxidant Packed Bloody Salad with Blueberry Lavender Dressing

The salad doesn’t look bloody in the first photograph because I did not drizzle the “dressing” over the greens yet.

This is a very refreshing salad that reminds me of summertime due to the presence of red anjou pears, blood oranges, blueberries (all packed full of antioxidants! —So good for you) and greens.

I had originally planned to have this salad with just lettuce, pears, and proscuitto, but then I started to crave fruits. Thus, this bloody salad creation!

Happy eating!
