The Best Thousand Island Dressing Recipe

During my favorite time of the year to party and partake in some of the best Irish foods and festivities in my opinion is St. Patrick's Day. I love all kinds of the foods that are made during that week. It's party time! One of the staples I find that's necessary when making a great Reuben sandwich is having a great tasting thousand island dressing. So here is the one I make that's easy in this perfect celebration time in March. Of course it's great anytime.

The Best Thousand Island Dressing

1 cup mayonnaise
3/4 cup ketchup
1  teaspoon sweet pickle relish
1 teaspoon dill pickle relish
1/4 teaspoon each garlic powder and onion powder
1 small clove finely minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
freshly cracked black pepper


Mix in a bowl and store in a glass container for at least 2 hours before using. Use within 2 weeks as it gets stronger with age but still good up to a month if you don't mind the stronger taste. Use on reuben sandwiches, hotdogs, burgers, wraps and or salads with chicken, steak or corned beef on top.
