Thousand Island salad dressing: ubiquitous, popular, familiar, most purchased. I'm not embarrassed to admit that it's my first choice to dress a garden salad. Now that I know how easy it is to prepare it fresh at home, I won't need to purchase it.
This recipe tastes exactly like store bought. If I had to come up with one thing that would give away the homemade factor, it's the consistency - commercial salad dressings contain xanthan gum, a thickening agent, which in my opinion is unnecessary here. Otherwise, no difference. I promise.

This looks yummy, I will definitely try it b/c I'm always buying it! We use it on turkey croissants-deli turkey with muenster and a crescent roll folded over and sealed...or I use it in 'traditional' chicken salad-the one without the apples, grapes, and nuts...mmmmm!!
