EL TORITO CILANTRO AND PEPITA SALAD DRESSING
I love this dressing at El Torito. I could sit there and just eat it with a spoon. I found this copy-cat recipe and I wanted to post it so I can make it myself, and secretly eat it straight from the jar :-)

EL TORITO VINAIGRETTE DRESSING
I've been making this dressing for about 20 years now; it's especially good on tostada salads or just a simple green dinner salad. The recipe is from the El Torito Restaurant in Los Angeles and was published in the LA Times reader request column.

CREAMY CILANTRO SALAD DRESSING
This is my best take on the dressing that is used in the El Torito restaurants in southern California. Be sure to toss some roasted pepitas and crumbled Cotija or Manchengo cheese on top of your salad for the full effect!
