High FODMAP
Catalina Dressing
Avoid during the elimination phase of the diet.
Catalina dressing emulsifies tomato base, sugar, vinegar, and oil for a sweet and tangy salad topping. The high sugar and tomato concentrate combination frequently elevates fructose and overall carbohydrate density. Commercial preparations often blend in onion powder, garlic, or high-fructose corn syrup to standardize taste across batches. Those managing IBS should drain or dilute the dressing to reduce residual sugar before tossing with greens. Reading labels carefully ensures selection aligns with your dietary requirements.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Prepare a safer version using ketchup blended with rice vinegar, olive oil, and a measured portion of glucose syrup. Avoid store-bought varieties that list sugar or onion derivatives in the first three ingredients to minimize triggers. Apply a light drizzle rather than heavy pouring to maintain crisp lettuce texture and prevent overwhelming sweetness.
