Catalina Dressing and the low FODMAP 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.

Portion size can change a FODMAP result. Treat this as the context for the range—not a personal tolerance guarantee.
FODMAP groups
Group information helps organize reintroduction challenges and possible stacking.
What can change the result?
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.
