What You Should Know

Bolthouse Farms Cilantro Avocado Yogurt Dressing (12 fl oz) is a creamy southwestern-style, refrigerated dressing that reads like a salad bar shortcut. You’ll typically find it in the chilled condiments/deli case near other refrigerated dressings, yogurt-based sauces, dips and refrigerated hummus—often adjacent to the produce or prepared foods aisle rather than on the shelf-stable dressing wall. It fits quick weeknight dinners, weekend brunches, taco nights and party platters: think bright bowls, grilled chicken salads, veggie crudité trays or as a drippy topper for tacos and grain bowls. Bolthouse Farms positions itself as a produce-forward, better-for-you pantry staple aimed at busy, health-minded shoppers and millennial parents who want convenience with a fresh image; marketing leans on simple-sounding ingredients and on-trend flavors like cilantro and avocado. The label leans into health halos — “yogurt” base, “gluten free,” and “no artificial preservatives or flavors” — but it is not organic and carries no clean-label certification. In plain terms it is a processed refrigerated dressing: industrially blended, stabilized and flavored to guarantee consistent texture and shelf life. Sensory notes: spoonable yet pourable, silky and thick with a tangy cultured-yogurt bite, creamy avocado richness, herbaceous cilantro and a mild poblano warmth; you’ll see pale green color with flecks of herbs and spices. Packaging is a 12 fl oz plastic squeeze bottle with a resealable cap for easy drizzling. Rituals around it tend to be casual and social — a quick drizzle over salads, a dip at game-day gatherings, or a convenient finishing touch for assembled bowls and sandwiches.
