Anyone know how to thicken this? I made it and it is very thin, my kids won’t eat it because they think it is too thin. That taste is like that of Ken’s Brand.

After making this a couple times, I discovered that it seems to get sweeter as it sets. I started processing the sugar by itself until it was very fine. Then, taking a hint from one of Marg@Cayman Design's recipes, I slightly warm the red wine vinegar in the microwave and then process it and the sugar together until the mixture appears fairly clear. I then proceed and follow the directions as written. I do always use 1 teaspoon onion powder in place of the fresh onion. It is a wonderful dressing!! A staple in our house, as we have taco salad quite often. Mini R, thank you for posting.

I never buy bottled Catalina at the grocery store anymore! This is so much better! I use 1 tsp onion powder to replace the onion in this recipe.

great recipe! I came home from the grocery store with everything for a taco salad my husband HAD to have but the dressing..so i figured I would head to the trusty internet to try out a recipe...it is fabulous I followed another readers advice and used splenda the second time. I also just used the onion powder and some garlic powder and b/c I didnt have any paprika I omitted it. I doubled everything but the oil and only put in 1/3 cup of splenda because I ran out. I think this and my taco salad will be a new potluck/ family gathering favorite!

Really good on taco salad! Super fast and easy to make. I used onion powder and just whisked it by hand. Also cut down on the sugar and it was still plenty sweet. Start out with less sugar and you can always add more.

As a diabetic, I decided to substitute Splenda for the sugar. I used onion powder instead of the onion and then used 1/2 olive oil and 1/2 canola oil for the salad oil. This was amazing. And it has a very low impact on my sugar. WHEEE!

No wonder this is good with all that sugar. I was able to reduce the sugar by half and used dried onion flakes in place of the fresh onion. Extra light virgin olive oil was used for the oil. The dressing was used to make a chicken marinade. I look forward to using the leftovers on a salad. Thanks for posting.
