    Pierce garlic cloves with a knife; place in a small baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 20 minutes. Cool. Mash with a fork to remove pulp; discard skins and set pulp aside. In a skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Remove bacon to paper towel to drain; reserve 2 teaspoons drippings. In a bowl, whisk mayonnaise, sour cream and buttermilk. Add salad dressing mix, lemon juice, vinegar, pepper, garlic pulp and reserved bacon drippings; mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Toss spinach and cabbage in a large salad bowl. Add oranges, mushrooms and onion. Sprinkle with bacon. Drizzle with dressing or serve on the side.
