For optimal flavor, allow the French dressing to rest for at least 15 minutes before using, allowing the flavors to meld together. Ensure the avocado is ripe but firm for the best texture in the salad. To toast the slivered almonds, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden and fragrant. Watch closely to prevent burning. Consider adding a sprinkle of fresh cracked black pepper for an extra layer of flavor.

A vibrant and refreshing salad that artfully balances the sweetness of cantaloupe with the creamy richness of avocado, all brought together by a tangy and luscious homemade French dressing. A delightful alternative when grapefruit is off the menu!
