Imagine my surprise when I moved to America and discovered a dressing that shares my name—Catalina Dressing—yet tastes bright, sweet, tangy, and punchy. The best part: it takes about 5 minutes to make at home, so you can enjoy it wherever you are. This easy homemade version far outshines store-bought bottles and works beautifully as a salad dressing, dip, marinade, or sandwich sauce.

I love making my own dressings because they’re fresher, healthier, and fully customizable. If you enjoy this recipe, try my Italian Dressing or Creamy Parmesan for more homemade options. Homemade dressings let you control salt, sugar, and oil, and they keep your salads and sandwiches tasting bright and fresh.
