Copycat Catalina Salad Dressing Recipe (Low Sugar Recipe)
Growing up mom would always but Creamy French, Thousand Island, Russian and a Ranch salad dressings. Those were the stands in the house until one of the local steak houses had French Catalina Salad Dressing. . . Well guess what became the new standard and eventually replace the Creamy French dressing. . . You got it, Catalina.
Putting Copycat Catalina Salad Dressing on a salad.
Well I think paying almost $2 for a jar of salad dressing is pretty expensive considering you can make it for less than half that in a mater of minutes. So I set out to do a search of online recipes and I eventually found a clone recipe. Well you know me, I lost my original copy and needed to find another one. I came upon a recipe on Food.com which I liked. With some slight modifications for my taste.
