Homemade Catalina Dressing
Creamy Homemade Catalina Dressing, perfect for taco salad and as a dip for veggies!
Today I’m sharing an awesome crunchy salad I’m calling the Ultimate Dorito Taco Salad Recipe tossed with Catalina dressing.
There’s bottled Catalina Dressing, and then there’s bold and zesty Homemade Catalina Dressing… I’m sure you can guess which one I suggest using.
This simple recipe takes less than 5 minutes to make and is so much better than store-bought dressing. Plus you can adjust the salt, spice and sweetness to taste to make it exactly how you like it.
Homemade Catalina Dressing is not only fantastic on taco salad, it’s great drizzled over avocado slices, as a veggie dip, brushed over baked chicken, and as a spicy soup stir-in!

Very nice, I especially loved the tang and smokiness. Will make again. I added a little extra honey to bring out the sweetness.
