THOUSAND ISLAND DRESSING

Thousand island dressing is so much better than the store bought and so easy to make at home.

Easy thousand island dressing We love this dressing and put it on everything.  It is great as a sandwich spread and good on hamburgers, reuben sandwiches, regular salads and pasta salads.  It will keep in the refrigerator for at least a week or longer.  You can double the recipe or cut it in half if you just want to try it.  My favorite way to have this is on my favorite salad of just spinach, chopped tomatoes, onions, craisins or raisins and a chopped boiled egg.  You can put a chopped boiled egg in the dressing if you like but I like my egg on my salad.  You might also like our recipe for homemade buttermilk ranch dressing or honey mustard dressing.  I keep this dressing in my fridge because we use it on so many foods.
