I grew up on the Western dressing, it was a staple in 1970's Midwestern homes so it's a nostalgic favorite of mine. Best on a typical side salad or a classic chef salad imo. Catalina dressing is actually really good paired alongside ranch on a salad bar type salad - you gotta try it!

I make a baked potatoe topper using Catalina dressing. In a bowl use 1 -2 broccoli crowns cut into bite sized pieces (no stems), 1 pound sliced white mushrooms, and 1 diced red pepper. Pour Catalina dressing, 1/2 to 3/4ths bottle, over vegetables. Mix well. Refrigerate for at least 6 to 8 hours, mixing every once in awhile( it will shrink in volume as flavors are absorbed). Top on a baked potatoe. Finish off with cheese, sour cream, or green onions. Enjoy! So good!

Okay, so hear me out before you decide it's disgusting. 😂 I grew up eating cold taco salad with Western dressing. My grandma always fixed it--so often that when she passed, one of the things I just had to have was her famous "taco salad bowl." It's cold (yes, cold!) taco meat, chopped lettuce, shredded cheese and the Western dressing.(lots of it!). Everyone else always added tomatoes and onions, but I'm not a fan. It is delicious! Oh, the dressing needs to be cold, as well, for the best taste! I'd love for you to try it and hear your opinion!

Midwest Supper Club favorite has to be Dorothy Lynch salad dressing.

@@andrearostad7306 I’ve tried it with homemade French and store bought Catalina and I found them to be very similar. I guess if I had to choose a favorite it would be the Catalina. I should also add that you need about 2-3 lbs of bone in chicken pieces and bake at 350*F for 50-60 minutes. Reduce the cooking time for boneless chicken. Also good for the slowcooker, just increase the cooking time.

There is a restaurant here in Atlantic Canada called Pizza Delight. They make a pasta salad with fusili pasta, that frozen mixed vegetable blend, tomatoes, cucumbers, cheddar cheese, and Catalina or French dressing. I know it might not sound good, but it's really good. There are lots of salads that use those dressings. I know someone who got French dressing thinking she would like it, and she found it too sweet. She hates to waste so she played around with it. Added in some vinegar or lemon juice, even tried mixing it with some plain greek yogurt. Some worked better than others. But she was able to use it up.

I love all kinds of dressings, and I love both Catalina and French 😋 Growing up, Mom made a delicious Black Eyed Pea Salad to go with bbq or grilled meat that used Catalina and I still make it today. It's super easy: - Two cans of black eyed peas, drained and rinsed (you could use any bean you like, really) - Half a red onion, diced (I love onion, so I add a little more) - 2 Haas avocados, diced - Catalina dressing (add to your desired consistency) - salt, pepper, and hot sauce to taste - Optional additions: olives, crumbled bacon, spinach or arugula, tomatoes, parsley or basil So that's the basic recipe, plus additional suggestions. Don't skip the avocado though, unless you must. Avocados taste really good with Catalina dressing!😋💜
