I love being able to whip up a keto salad dressing from scratch with my emulsion blender! Even if I don’t have my homemade ketchup on hand for this recipe, it only takes a few minutes more to make it first. Keeping my fermented ketchup or mayo (which last quite a while) on hand really makes this a cinch! They are the base for most of my salad dressings. The Catalina is one of our favorites. It has a tangy sweet taste that is both subtle and rich. It goes well with just about any kind of salad and also makes a nice dip for a veggie tray.
makes 1 ½ cups
The Preparation
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup low-carb ketchup, like Heinz
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup onion, diced
- 1/2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/8 teaspoon liquid stevia
- salt and pepper, to taste
The Execution
1. Put all ingredients into emulsion blender container.
2. Start with emulsion blender touching the bottom of the container. Blend for about 30 seconds until mixture begins to emulsify.
3. Once mixture has begun to emulsify, you can move the blender up and down until all ingredients are thoroughly blended.
4. Pour into glass jar and refrigerate to let the flavors meld. If you used the homemade ketchup recipe, the dressing will last for several months. Otherwise, it will last for 2-3 weeks.

Can Swerve be used instead of stevia? I don’t like the taste of stevia
Yes, definitely!
This is such a good dressing, it is so easy to whip this up in a minute or two and I love the sweet and tangy flavor. Thank you for sharing = )
It’s such a well-balanced dressing, right? Thanks for the comment 🙂
I just made this today and it reminded me of the Catalina dressing I loved as a kid but all grown up! So tangy and sweet. I used Swerve instead of stevia and it’s going to be my new go to dressing
Using Swerve as the sweetener is a great idea! Thanks for the feedback! Glad you loved it 🙂
