It is made with a base of mayonnaise, ketchup, and relish, and often includes other ingredients such as chopped hard-boiled eggs, chopped onion, chopped celery, and chopped pickles. Thousand Island dressing is a popular choice for salads because it adds a creamy richness and a tangy flavor that complements the fresh greens. It is also a good choice for sandwiches and burgers because it adds a flavorful moisture that helps to keep the bread and meat from drying out.
