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.

Categories     sauces and gravies

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:

- **Use fresh ingredients:** The fresher the ingredients, the better the dressing will taste. This is especially important for the tomatoes, onion, and cilantro. - **Chill the dressing before serving:** This will help the flavors to meld and develop, and also make the dressing more refreshing. - **Use a blender or food processor to make the dressing:** This will help to create a smooth and creamy dressing. - **Taste the dressing as you make it and adjust the seasonings to your liking:** You may want to add more or less chili powder, cumin, or lime juice depending on your personal preference. - **Serve the dressing on your favorite salad:** This dressing is especially good on salads with grilled chicken, shrimp, or fish.

Conclusion:

This southwest thousand island dressing is a flavorful and versatile dressing that is perfect for salads, sandwiches, and wraps. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste.
