THOUSAND ISLAND DRESSING

Stirring a little chile paste into an otherwise classic Thousand Island dressing tones down its sweetness slightly, adding a very gentle bite. For something spicier - and for a noticeable pepper punch - substitute up to 2 tablespoons chile sauce for ketchup. Or, for something sweeter and more mellow, leave out the chile sauce entirely. Other great additions here include a dash or two of Worcestershire sauce or a spoonful of mustard.
