The Story

Catalina Dressing proves that the little things on the table can carry a lot of American character. Sweet red dressing, especially tied to midcentury salads and taco salads. Across the country, recipes like this help define the meal: brightening sandwiches, dressing salads, crowning burgers, spooning over biscuits, or turning a simple spread into something people remember. It is practical, proud, and built for the kind of generous table where a sauce, jam, relish, pickle, dip, or dressing can steal the show.
