When it comes to salad dressings, I'm a vinaigrette girl. My kiddos love the thicker dressings like french or creamy ranch, but not me. So, craving a thick thousand island dressing is unusual for me, but it's been sounding so good. I scanned some recipes to get an idea on what is in it and here's what I came up with. First things first, I needed a sweet pickle or relish. Most conventional brands have corn syrup. I found this jar at Target and thought the heat from the peppers would be great for a dressing. No HFCS, but it does contain sugar, so keep that in mind if you are strictly avoiding sugar.
Rena's Thousand Island Dressing:
1 cup mayonnaise (I used Spectrum Olive Oil)
1 Tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp raw honey
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup chopped pickles (I used Wickles brand)
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/8 tsp granulated garlic
1 Tbsp pickle juice
Combine together and chill. Serve as a dip or salad dressing.
My kiddos loved this and it was delicious on a salad with leftover chicken fingers!
