Louie Dressing (For Seafood Salads or Reuben Sandwiches)
MAKE IT SHINE!
ADD YOUR PHOTO
One of my favorite memories of going to a restaurant when I was growing up was getting to order a Shrimp Louie or Crab Louie from someplace like the Reuben E. Lee. It wasn't until later in life that I discovered the joy of a well-crafted Reuben sandwich (no relation to the restaurant mentioned earlier), which later in life became one of our highest-rated sandwiches in our deli. This Louie dressing will make either of these better than simple Thousand Island or Russian.

This dressing is dynamite! My family likes thousand island style dressing, and this is thousand island on steroids. I feel like taking it to the restaurant that makes the best Reuben sandwich and insisting they use it. I have made it twice and stayed true to the recipe, but personally found that the juice of one half lemon was plenty. Also inspired me to use the sweet chili sauce in other sauces.1Reply
