A sweet and tangy homemade Catalina dressing with a vibrant red color and smooth texture, perfect for salads, marinades, and glazes.

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup ketchup
  • 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, add the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, and sugar. Whisk until the sugar begins to dissolve.
  2. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously to create a smooth, emulsified texture.
  3. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Continue whisking until the dressing is fully blended and smooth.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more sugar for sweetness or vinegar for tanginess.
  6. Transfer to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to develop.

Notes

  • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving for best flavor.
  • Shake or whisk well before each use as natural separation may occur.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • Use as a salad dressing, marinade, or glaze for meats and vegetables.
  • Ensure Worcestershire sauce is vegetarian or gluten-free if needed.
