For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg to the dressing. If you prefer a tangier dressing, substitute 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise with sour cream or plain Greek yogurt. To make this salad vegetarian, simply omit the bacon bits. You can add some smoked paprika for a smokey flavor. The toasted almonds can be prepared in advance and stored in an airtight container at room temperature.

Apr 21, 2025I found that toasting the almonds for just a few minutes longer really brought out their nutty flavor. But definitely keep a close eye on them!
