This homemade Thousand Island Dressing Recipe comes together in 5 minutes with just 5 ingredients. It's thick, delicious, and perfect on your next salad.
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, pickles, ketchup, lemon juice, garlic, and salt to taste (I like 1/2 teaspoon). Use immediately or refrigerate up to 4 days.
Notes
Pickles: Sweet pickle relish sounds like an easy substitute, but it's too heavy and wet in this dressing. Not recommended.
Ketchup: Some recipes use chili sauce (such as Heinz chili sauce), so feel free to substitute that if you prefer.
Yield: This recipe makes 1 1/2 cups dressing or 12 servings, 2 tablespoons each.
Storage: Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
