Amazing Thousand Island

Last week, I made something and amazed myself.

Then David came home for dinner and he was amazed, too!

"Look what I made," I said, "my own Thousand Island dressing."

I could tell he didn't believe me at first.

Then he saw it and it looked like Thousand Island dressing.

But here's the kicker--it even TASTED like Thousand Island dressing!

BAM--AMAZED!

In the dressing world, Thousand Island has always been my favorite.  Yes, we are raising the Ranch generation, and Ranch is great on a lot of things, but Thousand Island has the Big Mac, and even though I haven't allowed myself to eat a Big Mac in over ten years, I have fond memories.  I know dressing didn't always come in bottles, but it has always come in bottles in my lifetime. And I was perfectly fine with that until . . . 

I found myself with a fresh bag of salad and no dressing.

My aunt had given me a healthy recipes cookbook for Christmas and I had noticed in the back that there were recipes for different sauces and dressings.  Sure enough, there was a recipe for Thousand Island and I had all of the necessary ingredients!  I did change it up a bit, as that recipe called for a boiled egg.  I also added the pickle relish because it needed to have pickle relish!  I had my doubts, but then I mixed it up and it looked just like the bottled thing.

TA-DA!
