Maria and other No CA folks: Is there a good Thousand Island Dressing on the market

that is worthy of a good sandwich? I used to make my own but now, I only have a couple of sandwiches I use it on, never on salads anymore. I bought a jar of Kraft a few weeks ago and it is terrible. How do they sell stuff like that!

Last time we had Thousand Island dressing it was from scratch - and that was some time ago. Still, when I read your request, my first thought was to make only 1/4 cup, enough for a sandwich or two, rather than buy a prepared dressing I will not enjoy or finish. I ran a quick search of popular recipes - you have your own! Greatly reduce the amount of each ingredient starting with 2-3 TBS of low fat mayo, adding ketchup&chopped pickle (or chili sauce, if you have it), grated onion (~1/4 tsp) and grated hardboiled egg (~1 TBS or less). Then drips of cider vinegar or lemon juice until it tastes right, adding S&P at end. Many recipes don't use the egg - my favorite part smileys/wink.gif. Others add a chopped pimento olive, chopped roasted or raw red pepper, a dash of Tabasco (or Louisiana hot sauce as suggested by The Kitchn). I wouldn't add minced garlic, but many recommend.

For sandwiches and burgers and such, we always mixed in some ketchup or . . .

chili sauce, sweet pickle relish sauce, a dab of mustard into mayonnaise till is was how we like it. You can mix this up and store it in the fridge.
