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.

- To make the dressing, use a high-quality mayonnaise. This will give the dressing a rich, creamy flavor.

- If you like a tangy dressing, you can add a tablespoon of Dijon mustard.

- For a vegetarian version of the salad, you can omit the bacon.
- To make the salad ahead of time, prepare the dressing and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, toss the dressing with the spinach and other ingredients.
