For Thousand Island Dressing Lovers! No Fail Dressing.
So my husband was complaining that I was trying to kill him lately because I wasn’t having enough salads and veggie-only dinners, so I decided to have a salad for dinner. Not quite sure this is going to salvage my character though…bacon, eggs, cheese. However, I did temper those with carrots, spinach, and green beans…oh, and Thousand Island Dressing. I have had a love affair with Thousand Island since I was a little girl, but we won’t go into how long ago that was. I have been playing with this recipe for awhile now, and I’m not saying I won’t tinker with it again, but this really works for me now. I could even use it for a veggie dip and definitely on a sandwich.
1 1∕2 cup mayonnaise
3–4 tbsp.chili sauce, the Heinz type
2 tbsp. finely chopped yellow, Vidalia or sweet onion
2 tbsp. finely chopped sweet pickles
1 tsp. juice from sweet pickles
1 tbsp. chopped, drained, jarred pimientos
1-1/2 to 2 tsp prepared horseradish
dash hot sauce
½ tsp paprika
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to your taste, shouldn’t take much salt at all
This is so easy! Just combine all the ingredients into a medium bowl and stir
until well combined. Dressing will keep, covered, in the refrigerator at least a week. I have had it refrigerated for at least a couple of weeks. Other ingredients you might to throw in and play with are: worcestershire, chopped capers, lemon juice, cream, chopped boiled egg. If you use your own home–made mayo that is great!
