CHOPPED ROMAINE SALAD WITH THOUSAND ISLAND DRESSING
This dressing is much better than any store-bought. I'm not usually a Thousand Island type of person, but this is great on this salad, and on crab or shrimp Louis as well. I found this in Bon Appetit magazine, February 1998. Prep time does not include making hard-boiled egg.

THOUSAND ISLAND DRESSING MASTERED
I love a rich dressing that works with anything from sauce for fish, corned beef for reubens, on salads, and with only small alterations for each. For fish, add a little more relish or horseradish. My family is old-school picky, and I finally figured out how to please them all.
