In 1958, Kraft became one of the first companies to introduce low-calorie salad dressings, with dietetic versions of Italian, French, Bleu Cheese, and Thousand Island dressings. Then, in 1990, Kraft scored another series of hits with its line of fat-free dressings. Today, fat-free and low-fat dressings are just about as popular and diverse as the full-fat varieties.

Here's a TSR clone recipe to create a fat-free dressing like the popular Catalina variety from the innovative food conglomerate. Where the fat should be, cornstarch and gelatin help thicken the dressing and give it a pleasing texture that will ensure you don't even miss those big-time fat grams of the traditional stuff.

Makes 1 cup

• 1 cup water

• 1/3 cup sugar

• 1/3 cup white vinegar

• 3 tablespoons tomato paste

• 1 teaspoon cornstarch

• 1/2 teaspoon Knox unflavored gelatin

• 3/4 teaspoon salt

• dash garlic powder

1. Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan and stir to dissolve the gelatin and cornstarch.

2. Set the pan over medium heat until the mixture begins to boil. Boil for I minute, stirring often, then remove the pan from the heat, cover it, and let it cool.

3. Pour the dressing into a covered container and refrigerate it for several hours or overnight until chilled.
