DIFFERENT SPINACH & BEET SALAD
I love to try something different and this salad is one recipe that I am very fond of. Looks great on a buffet or your holiday dinner table. It is not for everyone but try it you just may love it. Do in advance and put in fridge do not put the dressing on until serving and I recommend that you serve it on the side

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.
