So, it comes with some relief to know that not only can these evil foods be transformed into something healthier, they can also be concocted in the sanctuary of our own kitchens! Todd Wilbur makes his living from cloning brand-name foods, and replicating low-fat versions is perhaps his biggest challenge yet

Kraft Free Catalina Dressing
Recipe from: Top Secret Recipes Lite!

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.
