How to make Heirloom Cherry Tomato and Spinach Salad

This salad is so delicious and so simple.  I do not choose to include too many ingredients because I really love to let the heirloom cherry tomatoes sing.  If you cannot find heirlooms, regular cherry tomatoes are fine too.

Slice the cherry tomatoes into halves or quarters (depending on the size) and combine in a bowl with the washed and dried spinach, seeds, cranberries, and cheese.

For the dressing, combine all dressing ingredients except for the oil in a separate bowl.  Then, slowly whisk in the oil.

Pour the dressing over the salad and serve.
