Description

Baby spinach leaves, chopped cauliflower, toasted almonds, and bacon bits are tossed with a creamy spinach salad dressing made with Parmesan.

Ingredients

1 cup slivered almonds
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup white sugar
1 (3 ounce) jar bacon bits
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 (10 ounce) bag baby spinach leaves
1/2 head cauliflower, chopped

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Spread nuts onto a baking sheet.
3 Toast nuts in the preheated oven until golden brown and fragrant, 5 to 10 minutes. Watch as they bake because they burn quickly. Set nuts aside to cool to room temperature.
4 Mix together mayonnaise, milk, and sugar in a large salad bowl. Stir in bacon bits and Parmesan cheese until dressing is well combined and creamy.
5 Place spinach leaves, chopped cauliflower, and toasted almonds into the salad bowl; stir lightly to coat with dressing.
