Homemade Thousand Island Dressing and Dip

By: Amber Grangroth

When I began making sauerkraut at home, I knew I needed to make thousand Island Dressing for Rachel Sandwiches on Dutch Oven Sourdough Bread. If you have never tried these, make some! They are so good!

We’ve been enjoying these hot toasty sandwiches slathered in thousand Island with some extra on the side for dipping!

thousand island dressing can be used to make a Reuben (pastrami, sauerkraut, cheese and thousand island all toasted together on a bread) and is also delicious on a burger, drizzled over a burger bowl, or as a dip for homemade French fries!

You may be wondering, why make homemade dressing? This dressing can be thrown together in minutes! You have better say of the ingredients in your dressing and you have the opportunity to make it so much healthier than many store-bought dressings! Plus, it is way tastier!

Thousand island dressing is a combination of mayo, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, and onion. With a touch of lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper. These simple ingredients mixed together create a delicious sauce for spreading or dipping!

Let’s make thousand Island Dressing!
