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.

Time 15m

Yield 1 3/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup mayonnaise
3 1/2 tablespoons ketchup
1/2 tablespoons chile paste, such as Sriracha, plus more to taste (optional)
2 tablespoons sweet relish
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
1 1/2 teaspoons cider vinegar or white wine vinegar, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
Pinch of kosher salt (Diamond Crystal), plus more to taste

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together all ingredients. Taste and add more salt, vinegar and chile paste, if needed. Use sauce immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
  • Use as a salad dressing for sturdy, juicy greens, like an iceberg wedge or shredded cabbage, or instead of straight mayonnaise in potato salad, egg salad or tuna salad. Use it to top hard-cooked eggs, hot dogs or avocados. Spread in sandwiches, especially a tomato sandwich or a BLT.

Tips:

  • To make a creamy Thousand Island dressing, use mayonnaise instead of ketchup.
  • For a tangy dressing, use more vinegar and less ketchup.
  • If you like a spicy dressing, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder.
  • For a sweeter dressing, add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup.
  • To make a chunky dressing, add chopped pickles, onions, and hard-boiled eggs.
  • For a smooth dressing, blend all of the ingredients in a blender or food processor until smooth.
  • Serve Thousand Island dressing with burgers, fries, sandwiches, salads, or as a dip for vegetables.

Conclusion:

Thousand Island dressing is a versatile and delicious condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. With its creamy, tangy, and slightly sweet flavor, it's sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dressing, give Thousand Island a try!
