Divide the cherries and beetroot slices between 4 serving bowls and dot with the walnuts. Add a dollop of cream cheese to each bowl. Just before serving, give the dressing a final mix and then drizzle it over the salad.
Cook’s note: For greater depth of flavour, marinate the beetroot in the dressing overnight or for an hour before serving.
