I made this salad especially for my mom who loves thousand island dressing. This was easy to make and the taste was interesting. I chilled it for about 3 hours before serving but the leftovers the next day tasted even better. Thanks for posting-hope you like the photo!

My Dh loves thousand island dressing, so we had to try. He gave it 5 stars definately. It almost tasted like a store made noodle salad dressing. Was really easy. I'm thinking it might be good with potatoes, too. I'll let you know.

This was good. I used thousand island dressing with bacon because it was all I had and my husband loved it.

This was really a treat. Thanks for the great recipe. I'm a thousand island junkie myself and usually I'm lazy and just pour it over cumcumbers for my salads. This made me work a little harder!
