Avocado And Cantaloupe Salad With Creamy French Dressing Reviews

  • I selected this recipe because I had both an avocado and some leftover cantaloupe that I wanted to use up. The dressing also intrigued me. I will say the amount of dressing is excessive (hence the 4 stars) and would be enough for way more than four servings. I scaled the dressing ingredients down to one serving and it nicely dressed two salads, with a little leftover. We enjoyed this dressing very much. Mine never got what I would call creamy (maybe I wasnt whisking fast enough), but I was happy with the dressing and its color. I didnt have arugula, so I used red leaf lettuce and I just eyeballed the amounts of cantaloupe, avocado and almonds. The cantaloupe I had was wonderful, which added to the deliciousness of this salad. Give it a try

  • My Husband & I Inhaled it Never thought of this combination, Delicious Next time Im going to cut the cantaloupe & avocado smaller so they dont fall to the bottom.

  • Call me extravagant or just plain snooty but this recipe was just blah...however I do appreciate the effort. It didnt quiet make the grade..so..I added thinly sliced red onion, dried cherries,candied cashews and Gorgonzola cheese. WOW Served it with a homemade shrimp bisque and a French baguette. Delicious Bon Appetite

  • Who wouldve thought to put canteloupe and worcestershire sauce...I wasnt sure at first....bu YUM Ive eaten it 3 days straight

  • Great salad I make it at least once a month

  • This was an amazing dish that my family loved. I made a few adjustments to it - outcome restuarant quality. I grilled shrimp with a little butter and garlic and added the shrimp on top of the salad. It was amazing. Also on a side note, my husband is not a big fan of melons so for his portion I substituted it with tangerine slices.

  • I found this to be a WONDERFUL combination with one HUGE warning... this is INCREDIBLY spicy (the kind that creeps up and bites you AFTER youve already swallowed it) Not too sure if it was the mustard or "pinch" of cayenne but... WHOA, look out I will have to try adjusting the heat in the future (and there will DEFINITELY be a future for this one)

  • Unusual combination, but we truly loved it.

  • Great tasting. My husband loved it too.I made a few changes spinach, raw jalapeno finely chopped, and a handful of craisins.I reduced the oil to 3 TBS adding water to make up the difference.

  • I actually changed up the dressing recipe and added red wine instead of the vinegar removed tfe paprika and just used cayenne pepper. It was definitely a keeper... I would try it again

  • Such depth of flavor The sweet, spicy, crunchy, springy, and then the toasted almonds. Its going in our "make this again" pile

  • This is excellent. I used Spinach instead of Arugula and added Feta Cheese. My husband says this is a keeper
