I was in the middle of making taco salad and realized I was all out of Catalina dressing. Found this recipe and made it, substituting apple cider vinegar for red wine vinegar. Family said it was the best taco salad they've ever had. Score!!
This is a nice dressing although I think it tastes more like French dressing rather than Catalina (lucky us we like both!). Certainly is simple enough to mix up and I agree Samy homemade's always better.
This gave me a good base to adapt my own recipe. I used olive oil stevia and sugar free ketchup. Thanks for posting.
Good flavor. Used celery salt vs celery flakes, because I didn't have any. Added 1 tsp mayo to help hold emulsion.
Add 1/2 teas worcestershire and cut the sugar in 1/2
This was delicious and tasted almost exactly like the bottled dressing. It took a couple seconds to mix it up, I had everything in the house. Is not as red as the bottled dressing. I used Apple Cider Vinegar, Vegetable oil and also added a little garlic powder. My husband loved it, I'll definitely make this again!
It isn't as dark orange as the Catalina's I have used before but a very pretty color none the less. It literally took me three minutes to have this blended and ready for dinner. Tangy and sweet. I will make it again.
Even though my red wine vinegar was a little sketchy, this turned out fabulous. I didn't have celery flakes, so I used celery seeds. Sweeter and runnier than store bought, but that just means a smaller amount goes a long ways. I will be using this recipe instead of store bought from now on!!!
I didn't have quite all the ingredients... I substitued celery seed for the celery flakes, garlic powder instead of onion powder, and basil instead of italian seasoning. Very pleased with the way this turned out! So close to bottled! I'll be making this often!!
