Thousand Island Dressing on the Fly

"Not to be confused with Mirjam's Chocolate Covered Ant recipe... This is a simple salad dressing that can be made at the last minute, and is a great stand-in for the bottled stuff."

  1. I only use Thousand Island Dressing when making Reubens, so usually if I buy a bottle most goes to waste. I was thrilled to find this quick and easy remedy for my problem! Thanks for posting.
     
  2. Thanks! Just ran around to three local stores, no thousand island. Thanks to this recipe we were not embarrassed to serve our corned beef. Tasted great.
     
  3. Good substitute, I added a little sugar and a dash of ground chipolte to spice it up a little.
     
  4. Although it does not remind me of Thousand Island Dressing in the least, it is a great dressing that goes especially well with more crunchy salads (ice berg lettuce, Chinese cabbage, etcetera).
     
  5. I thought this was a good substitute for the store-bought dressing. I made reubens a few nights ago and forgot to purchase T.I. dressing. I didn't have chili sauce but used ketchup instead. It worked well!
