Let me know if you like it. More importantly, let me know if it’s tolerable to your dietary needs. I’m sure others will be interested to know.
Hey Cynthia,.
I love your homemade thousand island dressing. It worked well with my mandarin salad.
The only changes I made were to add 2 more cloves of garlic and to omit the Tabasco. The dressing gave the salad a banging flavor and it’s nutritious too.
Just to let you know the entire family enjoy this treat.
Thank you.
Maxine 🙂
Mandarin salad? That sounds yummy! Would you care to share the recipe?
Hi Cynthia,
I’ll be making your Thousand Island Salad Dressing today to serve with burgers for lunch. I’m wondering if you can suggest an alternative to apple cider vinegar? I find the smell of it very strong but I’m just not sure what an appropriate substitute might be, or if there even is an appropriate substitute for this recipe? If you could let me know that would be great.
Thanks in advance!
Lemon or lime juice would be a great substitute for the vinegar. And I love it on burgers as well!
Hi Cynthia, thanks for sharing this awesome recipe. I’ve seen the recipe for Homemade Thousand Island Salad Dressing only on Tv Shows and I’ve not been able to take the recipe down. I’ll like to ask, can I add chilli pepper to the recipe? Can I also add my preferences to this recipe? I will surely try this out.
Many thanks.
The beautiful thing about making this from scratch is that you can add anything you want! Please let me know what alterations you made and how it came out.
I have never made a salad dressing before since I usually buy it from the grocery store. Didn’t know it is this easy to make one and isn’t that time-consuming. In my opinion, I think it is better to make your own food so that we know what ingredients we put in it ’cause sometimes there are a lot of food additives from grocery-bought foods. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
I agree completely. I like to have control over what I eat so I enjoy making my own dressings! It’s surprising how quick and easy it is!
Thank you for your comments.
This recipe looks so good. I make some awesome homemade burgers that I think this would go amazing with.
Next family get together I will whip it up and let you know their thoughts.
I will also be sure to share your site with others looking for great recipes online. Thank you
Oddly enough, I just had a burger with this thousand island dressing on it! I can’t wait to hear what your family thinks of this and I appreciate your sharing.
