Thousand Island Dressing!

(This is a good way to start a blog)

Wikipedia states : Thousand Island dressing is a salad dressing (a variant of Russian dressing), commonly made of mayonnaise, ketchup, Tabasco sauce and finely chopped vegetables, most often pickles, onions, bell peppers, and green olives; chopped hard-boiled egg is also common.

Ok, now that we got that out of the way.  Luck smiled and got us a free pizza coupon on Thursday, so it is pizza and salad night!

Being a special night, our normal dressing just won't do, so I made my special treat, 1000 Island Dressing! I mean really, look in you fridge right now...go on...I'll wait... ... ... ... I bet you have Mayo, ketchup, and spicy bits in there.  You can make this your self too!


What I used:

• Mayo
• Ketchup
• Cocktail Sauce
• Sweet Pickle Relish
• S&P
• Dill
• Lemon Juice

How I put it together:

• My order in the "What I used" section basically lists out the amounts as well, with the large amount items at the top and the lesser amount items at the bottom.
• Mix it all up
• Watch for a color you like
• Taste along the way

The Aftermath:  I have been making this more and more lately.  I am beginning to think that buying store brand salad dressing is very silly.  This is quick, easy, and keeps me from eating too much heavy dressings because I don't always want to make the stuff.

Zesty, creamy and pretty much the same flavor as the stuff from the store.  

Please try it yourself and tell me about it.  Or tell me about what kind of homemade dressings do you make?

By the way the pizza came from Stacia's Pizza & Pasta in Greenwood.  Best Dang Pizza in Seattle (so says I) 

Also - Second by the way, the salad could have it's own page, but I am having mixed feelings about a post just for the salad, so for now I used just what was in there today - Greens, broccoli,  carrots, leeks, turnips, cheese (Thanks again A & S 3 days now and still cooking with that cheese!) and I boiled and wedged up 2 eggs.  Yummers.
