i have been looking for a recipe that is close to a local restruants. they call it thousand island but it is much closer to this. the restruant burned down 6 monthes ago and i have been searching ever since. this is yummy and will be a staple in my fridge!

EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT! Don't even bother with the store-bought dressings. To make it low carb, I substituted in place of the chili sauce (which has lots of sugar or fructose) the Low Carb Ketchup Recipe #119682.

I've never been to the Russian Tea Room, so don't know how authentic it is, but it is a very delicious dressing. Sweet, with just enough tang. Reminds me of Thousand Island dressing, but not as sweet. It is perfect!

Add this to a chopped rotisserie chicken and cooked penne pasta and you have California Chicken Cafe's Chicken Pasta dish. They do not give out their recipes.
