Homemade Thousand Island Dressing

If you like Thousand Island Dressing, here is your warning: tasting this homemade Thousand Island dressing will officially ruin you for all other versions.

We eat this on hamburgers, and salads (of course), dip carrots & celery sticks in it, and I have been known to go to the fridge with a spoon from time to time just to taste it!

This is Thousand Island at its freshest, creamiest best. 

I am serious – do NOT make this if you want to fall back on store-bought versions. 

You will rue the day Kraft ever decided to desecrate such a wondrous invention.

You’ll need: Chili sauce, mayonnaise, pickle relish, three or four hard-boiled eggs, and some finely diced onion.

Place mayo in a bowl. That looks kind of gross, doesn’t it? Hang in there – I promise the outcome will be DIVINE!

Pour in your onion.
Dice up your eggs and add them in there.
Add chili sauce. I didn’t add the whole bottle – you can go by the recipe for the perfect amount.
Add pickle relish – again, add the amount according to the recipe.

Stir, Stir, Stir!

And Voila! *Chef’s kiss!*

  2. dang. I’m hungry. Fast food is so unappetizing.
    I’ve got a can of silly string hidden beside me. I’m waiting for the kids to start arguing and then I’m gonna hose em down!! I can’t wait!

    Of course, they have not argued once since waking up this morning. It’s strange to be hoping your kids will argue but I know how cool they will think it is when their mama sprays them with silly string while riding down the road!

    I’m going to be getting us some recipes in Disney. Did you know that every Disney restaurant has some of their signature recipes printed on cards that they give out just for the asking?

  3. ooh I gotta make y’all some Milo’s comeback sauce sometime! I’m glad you like this too Deanna! Hope I spelled your name right, I’m on my phone and can’t double check myself!
