Thousand Island Dressing

Why are you spending money on salad dressings?  I can show you how to make it for just pennies!!  When my son was growing up, he always thought we bought this stuff in a bottle from the store, now that I'm married and my husband found out that I can make it better than store bought, and in only a couple of minutes, he won't eat the store brand.  Give it a try -

 OK, so  - for just a few items that you already have on hand, let's get started:

1 cup mayonnaise - I use reduced fat to cut calories
1/4 cup ketchup
2 Tbsp. vinegar
1/4 cup sugar - you can reduce the amount a little
2 Tbsp. sweet pickle relish
1/2 tsp. onion powder
dash of Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper to taste


That's all that's needed, you can adjust the sugar to taste, if you like it sweeter, add a pinch more.

 Just put everything in a small bowl
Whisk it all together until smooth

see, we just made Thousand Island Dressing in only a couple of minutes

 You can store it in the refrigerator in a sealed container.  Or do like I do, save your empty salad dressing bottles and put the dressing in it so the kids and picky husband won't know the difference.

So here you have it!!  I made 2 salad wedges with crispy bacon crumples and homemade Thousand Island Dressing for under $1, (total).  You'd easily pay $3.50 each in a restaurant for these.
