Sweet and Tangy Catalina Salad Dressing

Sweet and Tangy Catalina Salad Dressing

I was not a huge fan of salad at all. But since discovering how easy it is to make delicious dressing like this Catalina salad dressing, I do not mind salad so much. I also no longer feel guilty if I put other goodness on my salads, such as non-processed meats or a little bit of good cheese for protein to help with that whole hungry-moments-later issue I had heard about.

If I am low on leftovers and need to supplement my daily lunch, I will bring dressing to work and get a veggie salad from the cafeteria. I also add some crumbled bacon and sunflower seeds, which make a good side.

To make this Catalina salad dressing, you will need a mini food processor or blender. About ten years ago, I only paid $15 for my 3-cup food processor, which takes up very little room. It’s also suitable for mincing vegetables for sauces and making salsa, so it’s a good investment if you don’t have one. Amazon has the newer version of mine for about $20.

One of the things I love about this sweet and tangy Catalina salad dressing is that it uses things I already keep on hand. It also only takes about five minutes!
