Thousand Island Salad Dressing

Always store homemade thousand island dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

For a lighter version, substitute some of the mayonnaise with plain yogurt or sour cream.

Add a pinch of paprika for a hint of color and subtle flavor.

Adjust the relish or pickle amount to control the tanginess and texture.

Green salads (especially wedge salads)

Hamburgers and sandwiches

French fries and onion rings

Deviled eggs

Using stale ingredients can impact the overall flavor.

Not tasting and adjusting seasoning before serving can lead to an unbalanced dressing.
