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.
