Salad dressings can be pricey. This copycat homemade Catalina dressing recreates the classic sweet, tangy French-style dressing that pairs especially well with salads that include meat or fish.
Ingredients
½ cup + 1 tablespoon ketchup
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup white vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
Pinch dried thyme
Instructions
1. Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil, whisking frequently to blend the ketchup and dissolve the sugar.
3. Reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Remove from heat and let the dressing cool to room temperature.
5. Transfer to a covered container and refrigerate until chilled. The dressing will thicken slightly as it cools.
Yield: about 1 cup.
