Spinach & Blue Cheese Salad With Walnut Dressing image

A delicious salad that is quite simple to prepare. The walnuts and tomatoes can be prepared ahead of time. Works really well as an entree or a light lunch. The original recipe came from 'Australian Good Taste' magazine and stated serving size was 4, I think it is better as 2 generous serves.
