Avocado. Cilantro. Citrus.
These three ingredients form the foundation of the creamy avocado cilantro salad dressing - a bold and refreshing element that ties the California Crunch Salad together. It is rich, smooth, and packed with flavour, yet light enough to let the freshness of the salad shine through. The avocado creates a luxuriously creamy base, adding a silky texture that coats each ingredient perfectly. Fresh cilantro infuses the dressing with a bright, herbaceous quality, while a blend of orange and lime juices brings just the right amount of citrusy tang to balance the richness. For those who love cilantro, its vibrant, slightly peppery notes add depth and dimension, enhancing the West Coast-inspired flavours in every bite. And if cilantro isn’t your thing? Don’t let that stop you from trying this salad. The citrus and avocado mellow out the herb’s sharper edges, making the dressing more about brightness and balance than any single dominant flavour. It’s the perfect complement to the crunch of tortilla strips and pumpkin seeds, the tangy bite of pickled onion, and the creamy, salty feta. This dressing doesn’t just bring the salad together—it elevates it. It’s rich but not heavy, zesty but not overpowering, and full of the fresh, vibrant flavours that make California cuisine so irresistible. Whether you’re a longtime fan of this salad or trying it for the first time, the creamy avocado cilantro dressing is what makes every bite completely unforgettable!
