Cooking instruction summary:

Start by roasting your garlic. Cut the bottom 3-4mm of the head of garlic. On a piece of foil, drizzle 1 tbsp of olive oil and place the head of garlic, cut side down on the oil. Close the foil around the garlic and bake fore 30-45 minutes at 400F. Take out of the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes. The garlic cloves should be falling out of the head with a tiny bit of pressure and should be soft throughout. If they are not, put'em back in the oven for another 5-10 minutes.In a medium pan, toast your slivered almonds, tossing them continuously on medium heat until they smell nutty and are starting to brown a bit.Remove them from the pan quickly and place on a plate to stop the cooking.Crumble your goat cheese on a plate and place in the fridge.To make the dressing, place the sesame seeds, poppy seeds, honey, olive oil, vinegar, worcestershire sauce, minced onions, 3 or 4 roasted garlic cloves and paprika in a blender and blend for 20-30 seconds. (Keep the rest of the roasted garlic, make a puree and use on baguette with cheese and honey as a dessert or appetizer!)To assemble, you can serve it as a "deconstructed" salad like I did on the above pictures or you can stack the ingredients and place a small bowl of dressing for each person so they drizzle it and it doesn't wilt the spinach :)Enjoy!
