thousand island dressing
~ thousand island dressing ~
When we make reuben sandwiches we always like to slather them with thousand island dressing. It totally makes the sandwich. What takes them and your everyday tossed salad to a whole new level is making the thousand island dressing yourself. I like my version because it’s not just creamy and sweet, it also tastes like fresh vegetables and offers a slightly spicy kick. Try it and see for yourself. I bet you’ll never go back to the store bought stuff again. PS…also a lovely topping for grilled burgers!
In the bowl of a blender, combine:
2/3 cup real mayonnaise
1/3 cup spicy-sweet chili sauce ( I use Mae Ploy) OR ketchup
6 bread and butter pickle chips
6 pimento stuffed green olives
2 Tablespoons chopped green pepper
2 chopped green onions
1 Tablespoon Sriracha hot sauce
1 teaspoon Tony Chachere’s Creole seasoning
Zip in the blender, pulsing until evenly mixed and slightly chunky. Adjust seasonings. Transfer to a canning jar or cruet, and store in the refrigerator until ready to use. Will keep in the fridge for up to a week.
Enjoy!

what happens if you don,t have Sriracha hot sauce , can you use another hot sauce instead?????
You sure can, Janet! Use your favorite! thanks for inquiring! xo
I can’t wait to try your yummy dressings! Where did you find the beautiful lace topper on the thousand island dressing jar?
Thanks, Mary Jo! I bought a set of glass toppers to keep bees and other stuff out of my beverages when we dine outside. 🙂 Enjoy the recipes! XOXO
Oooo, loving it! Gotta try and I love that you include veggies so that it’s infused with “real” food instead of just a gunky mayo-based dressing. Mmmm!
Thanks, Danielle! Yes, this dressing is one of my favorites. I’m proud of it. It’s awesome on Reuben/Rachel sandwiches too! Enjoy! I agree… too many people throw ketchup or chili sauce in mayo and call it dressing. 😉 XOXOXO
This sounds yummy… can’t wait to try it!
Hi Cyndi! Thanks for stopping by to comment 🙂 Enjoy! XOXO
Where did you buy the glass toppers from?
Hi Sue! I bought them at a tearoom where I use to work. They’re beaded wine glass covers. 🙂 I’m sure you can purchase something similar online. Thanks for stopping by! XO
I so ♥ your Thousand Island Dressing Melissa as for the person who didn’t there is only one explanation…there is no accounting for taste 😉
Hi Vicki! I’m so pleased you like my recipe 🙂 You’re so sweet! Thanks for stopping by, and enjoy the dressing. XO
I so love all your recipes keep them coming!
Thanks so much for saying so, Linda 🙂 You’re a sweetie. XOXO ~M
You know some people are just plain miserable and have to have something to complain about. There’s always one in a group haha! I love your recipes! Found you through my niece’s Facebook page. Let your haters be your motivators right?! ;D
Hi Holly 🙂
Yes, you’re right. Some people are just miserable. I try to keep in mind that everyone is on a journey, including myself. I also try to remember that some people are miserable and sad because they have awful circumstances that are challenging them on their journey.
That being said, I can’t quite figure out what makes these sad individuals lash out at food bloggers. LOL 🙂 Really, if I was sad about something I think the last thing I would think is, “Hey, let’s get online and terrorize people who take pretty photos of food and share their recipes for free!” Just sayin’…
So glad you visited me!
XO,
~Melissa
Ok now I see, I need to find a tea or wine room to buy the toppers. Guess I should have read the comments. 🙂
