Thousand Island Dressing
Having a little salad every day is something I like to serve. It’s healthy, fresh, packed with nutrients and there are so many ways to enjoy it. Some are made with Seafood others with meat such as Chicken or just a combination of nuts, fruits and fresh vegetables. Among them, a dressing or vinaigrette might be needed while others don’t.
Since Club Foody started, I’ve shared many of my homemade dressing and vinaigrette recipes with you like my Roasted Red Pepper Parmesan Vinaigrette, Catalina Dressing, Zippy Ranch Dressing, Raspberry Vinaigrette, Blue Cheese Dressing, Mandarin Orange Vinaigrette with Sesame, Russian Dressing, Italian Vinaigrette, and now this one… Thousand Island Dressing!
This is such a flavorful salad dressing! Like the others, this recipe is quick and easy to make and it uses simple ingredients. It’s similar to Russian Dressing and many times, I alter between the two for my Crab Louie Salad, Reuben or Tripleta sandwiches.
I enjoy making this Thousand Island Dressing from scratch because there are no preservatives in it. I know exactly what goes in it and really… don’t you agree that 5 minutes of your time is worth the effort to have a healthy version for your salad? There’s no comparison when it comes to homemade versus store bought… the freshness says it all! I use my own Mayonnaise as well as my Sweet Relish from scratch… I know, I’m a foody but if you want the full “homemade” experience, this is the way to go!
This American condiment apparently came from the Thousand Island region which is in between Canada and the United States in the upper St. Lawrence River. Now to know if it really came from there, no one’s sure but it doesn’t really matter because I’ve been enjoying it since I was a child and I’m sure that I’m not the only one who grew up with it. The only change is now you can make this awesome Thousand Island Dressing at home…
Bon Appétit!
