Among my friends, I'm the salad girl. I'm the one that everyone expects to bring salads to potlucks. Usually that means that I cut up fresh veggies and make my own salad dressing. I used to make a homemade Catalina dressing like my mom's. I haven't made it in a while because I've tried to go sugarless. Catalina dressing is essentially ketchup with a few additions to make it dressing-like. For someone attempting to go without refined sugars, that's not the dressing to have. So, I've been dreaming of my mom's Catalina dressing for many months now. Finally, I decided to make it myself - without KETCHUP!
I tried to find recipes that others might have made. None of the recipes that I found were sugarless. Here is what I came up with. It's actually pretty good too.
2 roma tomatoes
1/2 onion
2 cloves garlic
1 T paprika
6 pitted dates
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar*
1 cup oil (I used half grapeseed and half olive since I was running low on both.)
blend top 6 ingredients. after all blended, slowly add oil.
ENJOY!
*Keep in mind that apple cider vinegar has a really strong flavor. If you don't like ACV, try using regular distilled white vinegar.
