Cooking Tips
Make it fresh by whisking together tomato sauce or ketchup, vinegar, oil, sugar, and Worcestershire sauce—tastes better than bottled.
Use on sturdy greens like iceberg or romaine; the thick consistency coats well without wilting delicate leaves.
Works beautifully as a marinade for grilled chicken or fish before cooking.
Common Mistakes
Using it on delicate greens (arugula, spinach) that wilt under its weight—pair with heartier lettuces instead.
Forgetting to shake it thoroughly before serving, since the oil and tomato base naturally separate.
