Ingredients for 1960 S Catalina Dressing

  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • Red Wine Vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Worcestershire Sauce
  • Salad Oil
  • Salt And Pepper

How to Make 1960 S Catalina Dressing

  1. Combine 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons white vinegar, 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion, 1 teaspoon paprika, and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce in a food processor.
  2. Pulse until the ingredients are well combined and slightly chunky.
  3. With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in 1 cup vegetable oil until emulsified.
  4. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more sugar for sweetness, vinegar for tang, or paprika for a deeper flavor.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. The dressing will thicken as it chills.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
