Homemade Thousand Island Dressing

If you like Thousand Island Dressing, here is your warning: tasting this homemade Thousand Island dressing will officially ruin you for all other versions.

We eat this on hamburgers, and salads (of course), dip carrots & celery sticks in it, and I have been known to 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 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 hard-boiled 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 for the perfect amount.
Add pickle relish – again, add the amount according to the recipe.

Stir, Stir, Stir!

And Voila! *Chef’s kiss!*
