Thousand Island Dressing (Lower Fat) created by BakinBaby

This will make about 2 cups of dressing or 8 (1/4-cup servings) if you want a full-fat version, omit the water and add in 1/4 cup more of full-fat mayo. This dressing will increase in flavor with refrigeration time, so it is best if chilled overnight before using.

Great flavor... I will never ever buy thousand island again. My girlfiend and I made a double batch to share. Made for 123 tag.

Have not eaten Thousand Island dressing in a long while, so I thought I would give this a try. Used regular mayo and omitted the water as you suggested. Also left out red peppers, just a preference. Very good recipe and it is even better the next day. Thanks for sharing it.

This made a delicious dressing for my salad this evening! A great blend of flavors that I will make again. The only thing I changed was I didn't use fat free mayo, I used regular. Thanks Kitten!
