How to Make Catalina French Dressing

  1. In a blender, combine 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin, and a pinch of cayenne pepper (optional, adjust to taste).
  2. Blend all ingredients until completely smooth and emulsified. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more cayenne pepper for extra heat, or a touch more brown sugar for sweetness.
  3. Pour the dressing into a cruet, airtight container, or empty salad dressing bottle.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Shake well before serving.
