spinach with cilantro cashew dressing

this is from the moosewood cookbook, i think.

8 cups fresh spinach, loosely packed (about 5 oz)
1 large tomato, cut into wedges
1/4 cup canola or other vegetable oil
3 tbs fresh lime juice
2 small garlic cloves, minced or pressed
2 tbs chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 tsp salt, more to taste
2 tbs toasted coarsely chopped cashews

stem and rinse the spinach. spin or gently pat it dry. tear the large leaves into smaller pieces and leave the small leaves whole.
arrange the spinach in a serving bowl and top it with the tomato wedges. combine the oil, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, salt and cashews in a blender and puree until smooth.
just before services, pour on the dressing, and toss well.
