For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a touch of honey or Dijon mustard to the dressing. To toast the almonds, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden and fragrant. Watch carefully to prevent burning. If you prefer a sweeter salad, use a sweeter creamy dressing or add a tablespoon of sugar to the dressing. The salad can be made ahead of time, but it's best to add the bacon, almonds, and raisins just before serving to maintain their crispness. Try using different types of grapes, such as green grapes or black grapes, for a variation in flavor and color.
