HOMEMADE THOUSAND ISLAND DRESSING

Five minutes and a little chilling time in the fridge, and you've got a tangy, zesty, "secret" sauce that's equally at home on a burger as it is over a salad. Far less expensive than store-bought and it tastes, well, a thousand times better!

THOUSAND ISLAND DRESSING



Thousand Island Dressing image

Stirring a little chile paste into an otherwise classic Thousand Island dressing tones down its sweetness slightly, adding a very gentle bite. For something spicier - and for a noticeable pepper punch - substitute up to 2 tablespoons chile sauce for ketchup. Or, for something sweeter and more mellow, leave out the chile sauce entirely. Other great additions here include a dash or two of Worcestershire sauce or a spoonful of mustard.

Time 15m

Yield 1 3/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup mayonnaise
3 1/2 tablespoons ketchup
1/2 tablespoons chile paste, such as Sriracha, plus more to taste (optional)
2 tablespoons sweet relish
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
1 1/2 teaspoons cider vinegar or white wine vinegar, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
Pinch of kosher salt (Diamond Crystal), plus more to taste

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together all ingredients. Taste and add more salt, vinegar and chile paste, if needed. Use sauce immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
  • Use as a salad dressing for sturdy, juicy greens, like an iceberg wedge or shredded cabbage, or instead of straight mayonnaise in potato salad, egg salad or tuna salad. Use it to top hard-cooked eggs, hot dogs or avocados. Spread in sandwiches, especially a tomato sandwich or a BLT.
