Inauguration Day Salad

Some days I get inspired in the kitchen. Today was one of those days, possibly due to our family trip to the gourmet supermarket this morning. Here's the salad I made for supper (to go with stuffed pork chops):

Mixed spinach and romaine hearts
Sweet onion, chopped
Button mushrooms, sliced
Dried cherries
Grated Irish cheddar cheese (regular cheddar would work, but Irish cheddar is sweeter and has a nutty flavour that is amazing with dried cherries)
Pecans

Top with:
Olive oil
Salt & Pepper
Red wine vinegar (just a little bit)

It was SO GOOD, and a great meal to kick off what will hopefully be a wonderful 4 years!
