We live in the country now and that means sometimes running out of stuff and not having a lot of options near buy. I was making taco salad and realized I was totally out of Caralina Dressing. I wasn't about to go to the corner store and pay $5 for a small bottle so I did some googling. I wasn't happy with what I found (recipes full of sugar) so I decided to take notes and make something I was happy with (and I dare to say it's almost healthy for you too!)
Here's my take on Kraft's Catalina Dressing (and after this I'm not going back - this is my new fav)
Sugar-free Catalina Dressing
3/4 cup honey
2 teaspoons sea salt
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1⁄2 teaspoon chili powder
1⁄2 teaspoon celery seed
1⁄2 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon onion flakes
1⁄2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/3 cup ketchup (or tomato paste)
1 cup Olive Oil
Mix it all together in a jar or bottle and you can start using it right away. I like to leave mine sitting on the counter for 2-3 hours first, to really have the flavours come out. Store in the fridge. With the vinegar in it it can store in the fridge for up to 2 months (but I tend to use it up well before then!)
I use this on taco salad, on chicken, with rice, in pulled pork or, as a dip for other veggies. It's got a really nice smoky taste.
Enjoy!
