Thousand Island Dressing

I make this salad dressing all year long, but this time of year when there is left over corned beef, I whip up a batch to use as a sandwich spread for weeknight Reuben sandwiches.

A close cousin to Russian dressing, Thousand Island can be used as a dressing for greens or a wedge of iceberg lettuce, as well as a tasty spread for sandwiches. I don’t particularly care for gloppy mayonnaise based salad dressings, so I thin the dressing with a little bit of water before seasoning with salt and pepper. However, if I am going to use it as a condiment or sandwich spread, I leave it in its gloppy goodness.
