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!

  1. what happens if you don,t have Sriracha hot sauce , can you use another hot sauce instead?????

  2. I can’t wait to try your yummy dressings! Where did you find the beautiful lace topper on the thousand island dressing jar?

    1. 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

  3. 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!

    1. 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

    1. 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

    1. Hi Vicki! I’m so pleased you like my recipe 🙂 You’re so sweet! Thanks for stopping by, and enjoy the dressing. XO

  4. 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

    1. 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,
