Shake well until dressing starts to thicken a bit.
Place spring mix, cherries, pecans, and cheese in a large bowl.
Drizzle some of the dressing over the top.
Use tongs to toss and gently coat the greens.

Extra dressing keeps in the fridge for a week.
Notes
To toast nuts, place on a cookie sheet and bake in a preheated 300 degree oven for 3 to 8 minutes. You can also put them in a non-stick skillet and toast over low heat on the stove for a few minutes. Watch carefully so they don’t burn!
