Thousand Island
Dressing
I have really enjoyed
learning how to make my own dressings because we all know you buy a bottle of
that stuff in the bottle and use it once or twice and then it sits on the door
of your refrigerator until it is questionably bad by the labels standards, but
because it’s so full of preservatives NOTHING ABOUT IT CHANGES!!! I never really enjoyed bottled stuff but it’s
convenient and cheap, and really, is anything in life that is “cheap and convenient”
that good? No. As I go forward I will
start to total up how much things are and show you that often for not much more
than you would spend on something prepared you can have something fresh,
delicious and that you made to your liking!
Ingredients
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp. ketchup
2 tbsp. sweet pickle relish
2 tbsp. finely diced onion, any type you have on hand
1 small clove garlic, pressed
1 tsp. white vinegar
2-3 dashes Tabasco Sauce (Optional)
Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
Add all ingredients to a small bowl and mix well. Taste and add salt and pepper to desired
taste. Add hot sauce if you would like
and stir again. Cover and let sit for 1
hour in the refrigerator before using to let the flavors really blend. I like making it in a Tupperware because that
way you can store it easily for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
I have made this so many different
ways, swapping out the Tabasco for sriracha, adding some yellow mustard, more
garlic or no garlic, even with vegan mayonnaise! Change the ½ cup mayo to ¼ and add ¼ miracle
whip, 2 tbsp. French dressing, and 2 tbsp. dill pickle relish and you have Big
Mac sauce! We will re visit Big Macs at
a later date!
