Start by preheating the oven to 350°F and then line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, combine the cashews with the maple syrup, olive oil, salt and sugar. Toss until evenly coated then transfer to the baking sheet and bake in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes (until light golden brown), stirring half way through.

Meanwhile make the dressing by placing all of the ingredients (cherries to thyme) in a food processor and blending until smooth.

Next make the salads by distributing the spinach on separate plates. Top with diced onion, fresh cherries, cashews and a sprinkle of gorgonzola cheese. Serve with cherry dressing and enjoy!
