These days, Thousand Island dressing is probably more popular as a sandwich spread than a salad dressing. For a real treat, try it on your next burger.

Any of the mayonnaise-based salad dressings can be made with store-bought mayonnaise, but if you really want the full effect, why not try making your own mayonnaise?

Ingredients

  • 1 pint mayonnaise

  • 1/2 cup chili sauce, cocktail sauce, or ketchup

  • 1 tablespoon minced onion

  • 2 tablespoons minced green pepper

  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped pimento, drained

  • 1 large hard-boiled egg, chopped

Steps to Make It

  1. In a glass bowl, combine the mayonnaise and other ingredients. Chill.

  2. Store unused portion in the refrigerator, where it should keep for a day or two.
