Catalina Dressing

Catalina Dressing is a vibrant, tangy vinaigrette made by blending olive oil, red wine vinegar, ketchup, sugar, and spices including paprika, onion powder, and celery seed. Its sweet-and-sour profile with subtle spice notes makes it a versatile dressing for salads, lending brightness and a distinctive reddish color.

Description

The Catalina Dressing combines extra virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar as the base, which provides a balanced acidity and fruity richness. Ketchup and granulated sugar contribute a mild sweetness and depth of flavor, while paprika, onion powder, and celery seed add subtle spice and aromatic elements.

The ingredients are blended together using an immersion blender until the sugar dissolves and the mixture emulsifies into a smooth, cohesive dressing. This creates a glossy texture and ensures the flavors meld evenly.

Stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, this dressing can last up to two weeks. Its bright and tangy character suits a wide range of salads, from leafy greens to chopped vegetables, bringing a familiar yet distinct flavor often enjoyed in casual American cuisine contexts.
