Here's a quick clone for one of the best-selling thousand island dressings around. Use this one on salads or on burgers (such as the In-N-Out Double-Double clone) as a homemade "special sauce." It's easy, it's tasty, it's cheap and it can be made low fat simply by using low-fat mayo. Dig it.
1/2 cup mayonnaise 2 tablespoons ketchup 1 tablespoon white vinegar 2 teaspoons sugar 2 teaspoons sweet pickle relish 1 teaspoon finely minced white onion 1/8 teaspoon salt dash of black pepper
1. Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl. Stir well.
2. Place dressing in a covered container and refrigerate for several hours, stirring occasionally, so that the sugar dissolves and the flavors blend.
Makes about 3/4 cup.

My husband LOVES Thousand Island Dressing, so I made this recipe for him and he says it's even BETTER than store bought! He keeps asking me to make him more! We'll never buy thousand island dressing from the store again! Thank you soooo much!

This is the real deal! I will never buy bottled thousand island again. I substituted this recipe last night, my wife never knew the difference! She was amazed when I told her I made this from your recipe.

I've been makine this since it was first published. It tastes and looks like the real thing! Hint - mix everything but the mayo first, then add the mayo. It blends the ingredients better. I also use low fat mayo and splenda.

I have to use no soy mayonnaise because of a soy allergy. I wasn't sure how it'd work, but it tastes great.

It's O.K. as is, but adding chopped hard boiled eggs really makes it great!!

I have served this dressing twice (as dressing on a crab louie) and both times was asked for the recipe by our guests! I made it with light mayo. Excellent!
