Provided by Autumn

Categories     Salad     Vegetable Salad Recipes

Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup slivered almonds
1 cup mayonnaise
½ cup milk
¼ cup white sugar
1 (3 ounce) jar bacon bits
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 (10 ounce) bag baby spinach leaves
½ head cauliflower, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread the slivered almonds onto a baking sheet, and toast until the nuts start to turn golden brown and become fragrant, 5 to 10 minutes. Watch the nuts carefully as they bake, because they burn quickly. Once toasted, set the nuts aside to cool to room temperature.
  • Mix together the mayonnaise, milk, and sugar in a large salad bowl. Stir in the bacon bits and Parmesan cheese until the dressing is well combined and creamy.
  • Place the spinach leaves, chopped cauliflower, and toasted almonds into the salad bowl, and stir lightly to coat with dressing.

SPINACH SALAD DRESSING



Spinach Salad Dressing image

My ex-wife developed this recipe about 30 years ago, but it has been modified many times over the years due to changing tastes and the availability of ingredients. Decrease olive oil by half, and increase spices and hot sauce to make a great marinade for grilling meat and veggies. Prep time does not include time for designing and building your salad... just for making the dressing.

Time 10m

Yield 1 cup, 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar, for 'bite'
1 tablespoon sugar, to taste (originally had 1/4 cup. but that's way to sweet for me now)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic granules
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/2 teaspoon sriracha sauce (preferred) or 1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce, to taste
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in a jar, except olive oil, and shake thoroughly to mix.
  • Allow to set at room temperature for 30 minutes, shaking occasionally, add olive oil, shake again, and refrigerate until needed, but at least 1 hour.
  • Shake and toss with spinach salad (spinach, hard-boiled egg, sliced fresh mushrooms, real crisp bacon bits, croutons, etc.) or other greens.
  • Note: Use the Sriracha hot sauce if you can find it.
  • It adds a lot of flavor, not just heat!

BEST BACONLESS SPINACH SALAD DRESSING



Best Baconless Spinach Salad Dressing image

My daughter is vegetarian so I came up with this alternative to hot bacon dressing for spinach salad. This is great if there are vegetarians at your table. I serve crumbled bacon on the side so we still get the delicious flavor of hot bacon dressing! You can substitute Dijon mustard for the honey Dijon mustard, if desired.
