When we lived in Chicago, there was a local neighborhood restaurant that served the most delicious salad with greens, cucumbers, chicken breast, croutons and thousand island dressing. Every Sunday we would treat ourselves to their delightful salad along with one of their tasty pizzas.
When I tried to duplicate the salad at home, bottled thousand island dressing just didn’t make the grade. In those days, the Internet was not as extensive as it is now so I scoured my collection of cookbooks for a basic dressing recipe. My old Betty Crocker Cookbook (fifth printing,1988) had the perfect recipe because I had all of the ingredients on hand and could make the dressing with little effort. While I have altered the original recipe a bit, this Old Fashioned Thousand Island Dressing recipe has become a favorite in my house.
Old Fashioned Thousand Island Dressing
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 teaspoon finely chopped onion
1 hard boiled egg, chopped
Mix all ingredients; cover and refrigerate before serving.

Yes, it’s a good one…for those that are concerned with sugar, I often use reduced sugar ketchup and sweet relish. This can reduce sugar as much as 1/3. Reduced fat mayo can help reduce calories as well. I am still pulling loads of veggies out of the garden so I will continue to use this recipe often in the next couple of months.
