Thousand Island Dressing

Here I present my recipe for a complete copycat rendition of the classic; Thousand Island Dressing!

Why Thousand Island Dressing?

The smart aZZ in me wants to say, “why not?”

🤣🤣🤣

Honestly though its been on my mind since I published my Copycat Kraft French Dressing,in that recipe I mentioned that I couldn’t stomach the thought of Thousand Island but…

I was wrong

Words Mike NEVER hears!!!!

I’m funny today

😜

I tried this recipe because I had iceberg lettuce on hand and I figured it can’t get much more classic than that.

The recipe was a huge hit with my kids and Mike, the kids even went in for seconds.  I highly recommend this recipe because its easy and you probably already have all the ingredients on hand.

 

This is how you make it

Refrigerate the dressing for a few hours before serving then give it another quick mix before dressing your salad.

I went old school and went with iceberg lettuce, red onion, celery and of course…tomatoes 🙂

Toss and serve immediately 🙂
