Michigan Cherry Salad

i may try this salad for Easter.  I am a huge fan of cherries and I think this salad will bring together some yummy flavors.

7oz. fresh baby spinach, about 9 cups
3oz. spring mix salad greens about 5 cups
1 large apple, chopped
1/2 C. coarsely chopped pecans, toasted
1/2 C. dried cherries
1/4 C. crumbled Gorgonzola cheese (I may sub goat cheese here)

Dressing:
1/4 C. fresh raspberries
1/4 C. red wine vinegar
3 tbsp. cider vinegar
3 tbsp. cherry preserves
1 tbsp. sugar
2 tbsp. olive oil

In a large bowl, combine the first 6 ingredients.

Place raspberries, vinegars, preserves and sugar in a blender.  While processing, gradually add the oil in a steady stream.  Drizzle over salad, toss to coat.
