Spinach Salad With Dried Cherries image

I love spinach salads, dijon mustard and dried cherries so this was a hit with me from the get go. It's a Martha Stewart recipe and absolutely rocks! You could easily substitute dried cranberries, but the tartness of the cherries are amazing. Enjoy! Note: prep time includes time for toasting pumpkin seeds.
