Description

Thousand Island dressing is an American salad dressing and condiment based on mayonnaise that can include olive oil, lemon juice, orange juice, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, vinegar, cream, chili sauce, tomato purée, ketchup or Tabasco sauce. It is widely used in fast-food restaurants and diners in the United States, where it is often referred to as "special sauce" or "secret sauce". Though lack of time has pushe us into buying commercially available at-store dressings and sauces but homemade salad dressings are always better. They are fresh, lively, and easy to customize. This is especially true when it comes to the oft-maligned classic, thousand Island dressing. To make this dressing sauce at home, take a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, cider vinegar, onion, relish, salt, and chili powder or pepper and mix well. Press the egg through a fine-mesh sieve into the bowl and mix well. This dressing can be served immediately, but tastes even better if refrigerated in a covered container for few hours.
