Great simple dressing!!! will make again

My recipe is very similar but I add 3 boiled eggs finely chopping and instead of salt and pepper, about 2 tsp Lawry's seasoning salt to counter balance the sweetness of the pickle relish. Also, I use bread and butter pickles sometimes instead of the sweet pickle relish and it gives it an extra good taste. Bear in mind, the more ketchup you use, the sweeter it will be as ketchup contains more sugar than most people realize. I suggest adding a little bit of ketchup at a time tasting as you go. Enjoy!

Perfect! Just what I needed! Nice and thick. I used lowfat mayo just to save on calories. I put it in an old Thousand Island dressing bottle, and no one can tell the difference!

This recipe is very good. I will never buy thousand island again! I did add garlic powder like other suggested. I also added one finely chopped hard boiled egg since I know that is how a restaurant near me makes it!

This turned out great! Followed the recipe to the "t"

This is so easy & perfect for a rueben sandwich since it's so thick. We also don't eat TI dressing on salads so this really cuts down on waste! Just make sure to let it sit a little while to let the flavors mesh together. I added vinegar, worcestershire and garlic salt but I'm sure it would have been great without it too. My husband said that he liked this better on his reuben than whatever TI dressing his favorite restaurant uses!! Wow what a compliment to this recipe :o) Thanks so much for sharing.

fantastic! I will make it this way everytime now.

Thanks for the recipe...My dressing was out of date and this came in handy....I used my homemade relish...It was very good....

I thought this recipe was a great place to start. I added some olive oil, a splash of vinegar and a little garlic powder. My husband loves it and has finally stopped insisting that I buy the bottled junk from the store. Thank you!

kudos for ease! my mother's recipe for 1000 island is so good, and so time consuming! I was looking for dressing for the Baked Chicken Reuben recipe from this site, and did not want a long time consuming multi ingredient dressing I was only going to pour in a casserole and bake. This fit the job perfectly.

This worked out perfectly for reubens! Very easy recipe...I didn't measure anything, just adjusted the ingredients until I thought it tasted "right."

We had Reuben sandwiches last night and I realized that I forgot to tell me husband to pick up Thousand Island Dressing. I headed right over to my laptop and checked allrecipes. What a fantastic and easy recipe. And delicious too! I will never buy bottled thousand island again; our sandwiches were delish!

Excellent recipe! I will never buy dressing again!!!

We don't really eat 1000 Island dressing on a regular basis, but I made a 1/3 of the recipe for 3 large Reuben sandwiches. It was definitely better after sitting for an hour as it tasted too much like mayo before. I added a splash of rice vinegar, a bit of garlic and onion powder, but those were the only changes.

This is a great recipe. I also added a tiny splash of cider vinegar for a kick.

This was very good. It tastes just like bought thousand island dressing. I won't buy thousand island again. This is so easy.

Amazing! I didn't know making Thousand Island dressing would be so easy or I'd have done this years ago! It was very tangy, maybe next time I'll use a bit less pickle relish as it seemed a bit much. I used Heinz ketchup and Vlasic sweet pickle relish along with Kraft mayonnaise. So much better than the bottled stuff. Thank you Sue, for sharing t
