Homemade Thousand Island Dressing
If you like Thousand Island Dressing, here is your warning: tasting this homemade dressing will officially ruin you for all other versions.
We eat this on hamburgers, salads (of course), dip carrots in it, celery sticks, I have been known to just 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 those 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 boilied 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 on the perfect amount.
Add pickle relish, again amount according to recipe.
Stiry stiry
Until you are left with the most delectable thousand island dressing you have ever, in your life, tasted.
Thousand Island Dressing
1 Quart Mayonaise
4 hard boiled eggs, chopped
7 ounces chili sauce
4 ounces pickle relish
1 ounce minced onion (I used 1 tsp)
2 1/2 ounces chopped fine pimento (see note on pimento)
Blend well and refrigerate overnight (you may add a little milk if you want yours thinner).
Note on pimento: I bought pimento, I paid for pimento, I brought pimento home. I could not find pimento. I could not find it in my house, I could not get it from a mouse. I could not find it here nor there, I could not find it anywhere! Therefore, I left out pimento. I couldn’t tell a bit of difference, either!

This is how I make My 1000 Island, too. But I add Texas Pete instead of pimientos(which are just roasted red pepper bits). and a little less chili sauce. Sometimes it’s too sweet.
hey donna! You are so right about the homemade stuff!
Christopher: it’s kinda like the sauce on a big mac, only done in a way mickey D’s never came close to! Let me know if you get to try it!:)
