Strawberry Spinach Salad with Mustard Poppy Seed Vinaigrette

I could go on and on about this salad, particularly the dressing. I first had this at a Relief Society activity, then I made it for my cousin's baby shower and on Saturday I served it at my future sister-in-law's bridal shower. It has been a total hit every time it's been served and I'm absolutely in love with it. This is my kind of salad. Nuts, berries and cheese mixed with a homemade vinaigrette. You've got to make this the next chance you get. You won't be disappointed.
