Time 30m

Yield 6

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

  • Place the spinach leaves, chopped cauliflower, and toasted almonds into the salad bowl, and stir lightly to coat with dressing.

DRESSING:
1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons evaporated milk
1-1/2 teaspoons dill weed
1-1/2 teaspoons onion flakes
1-1/2 teaspoons lemon-pepper seasoning

Steps:

  • Combine dressing ingredients (thinning with additional milk, if necessary) and serve over spinach. Cover and refrigerate any leftovers.

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh baby spinach leaves. If you can't find baby spinach, you can use regular spinach, but be sure to remove the tough stems.
  • To make the dressing, use freshly grated wasabi. This will give the dressing a more intense flavor. If you don't have fresh wasabi, you can use prepared wasabi paste, but be sure to use less, as it is more concentrated.
  • To make the dressing creamy, use mayonnaise. You can also use sour cream or Greek yogurt, but mayonnaise will give the dressing a richer flavor.
  • To add a bit of sweetness to the dressing, use honey. You can also use maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • To add a bit of spice to the dressing, use cayenne pepper. You can also use paprika or chili powder.
  • To add a bit of umami to the dressing, use soy sauce. You can also use fish sauce or tamari.

Conclusion:

Spinach salad with creamy wasabi dressing is a delicious and healthy salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The spinach is packed with nutrients, and the dressing is light and refreshing. This salad is also very versatile, and you can add any other ingredients that you like, such as grilled chicken, tofu, or salmon.
