Ingredients:
– 1 cup mayonnaise
– 2 tablespoons ketchup
– 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
– 1 tablespoon white vinegar
– 1/2 teaspoon sugar
– 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
– 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, white vinegar, sugar, onion powder, and garlic powder. Stir until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
2. Season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste. Remember, you can always adjust the seasoning later on, so start with a little and add more as needed.
3. If you prefer a smoother consistency, you can use an immersion blender or a regular blender to blend the dressing until it reaches your desired smoothness. This step is optional and depends on your personal preference.
4. Once the dressing is well mixed and seasoned to your liking, transfer it to a clean container with a tight-fitting lid. Refrigerate the dressing for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld together and develop.
5. Before serving, give the Thousand Island dressing a good stir to ensure all the flavors are nicely distributed. Drizzle it over your favorite salad, use it as a sandwich spread, or even as a dip for veggies!
