Method
Heat the oven to 160ºC (140ºC fan oven) gas mark 3. Arrange the plums cut-side up on an oiled baking tray, liberally sprinkle with sugar and roast for 1½ hours until golden and glistening. Loosen with a palette knife and leave to cool.
To make the dressing, whisk the vinegar with a little seasoning, then add the oil.
To serve, toss the spinach leaves with the dressing in a large bowl, then gently mix in the cheese. Divide this between six plates, arrange a few plum halves on top and scatter over the nuts.
