How To Make Thousand Islands Dressing
Has there ever been a time where you actually smacked yourself upside the head? This was my *doh* moment. Thousand islands salad dressing: ubiquitous, popular, familiar, and most purchased. I'm not embarrassed to admit that it's my first choice to dress a garden salad. I've always loved it, ever since I was a kid.

Over at my regular blog, Gotta Little Space, I have a 100 Things To Make list, and on that list is thousand islands dressing. So a few days ago I decided there's no time like the present and I just did it. And that was my *doh* moment. Because in less than five minutes I'd Frills in the Hills Muffin Mania: Citrus Cranberry Muffins I'm mad for citrus at the moment, and I can't tell you why. It seems odd because citrus really isn't in season, it might be because I've just retu...

Except...except I made it with ingredients everyone has in their kitchen, and without the unpronounceable mystery ingredients listed on the product page of Kraft's website, for example:
SOYBEAN OIL, TOMATO PUREE (WATER, TOMATO PASTE), VINEGAR, SUGAR, CHOPPED PICKLES, SALT, WATER, CONTAINS LESS THAN 2% OF XANTHAN GUM, LEMON JUICE CONCENTRATE, LACTIC ACID, DRIED ONIONS, CITRIC ACID, POLYSORBATE 60, PROPYLENE GLYCOL ALGINATE, SPICE, MUSTARD FLOUR, VITAMIN E, NATURAL FLAVOR, OLEORESIN TURMERIC. I took the liberty of researching a few of the strange phrases for you if you click on the links it will take you to a description of what they really are. My question is this: if it's this easy to make my own, minus those wonky ingredients, why the heck have I been buying it for so long?? What about you, what's your best *doh* moment?

few grindings black pepper, to taste Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Stir well to combine and refrigerate several hours, stirring occasionally, to allow sugar to dissolve and flavors to marry.

15 COMMENTS: Stephanie April 23, 2010 at 8:12 AM I can't tell you how many "doh" moments I've had over the years. There are so many things we are accustomed to buying ready made that really are simple and quick to make from scratch! Good for you Rina! Reply

Nancy Jacobs Basketmaster April 23, 2010 at 9:06 AM I like homemade Thousand Island dressing. I also add to it 1 hardboiled egg that has been chopped lightly with a fork. Blessings, Nancy

Jennifer April 24, 2010 at 1:40 PM Great recipe! I've had plenty of doh! moments. Too many to count. I've made jarred minced garlic instead of buying it, spreadable butter, pickles, saltine crackers, candles, laundry detergent, hand soap, febreeze, and wrinkle releaser. My next task is to make fried mozarella sticks. Reply

Monica April 9, 2012 at 5:54 PM This is awesome. You don't know how many times I've made a salad only to discover we are out of my favorite dressing--1000 islands!! And tonight I just whipped some up. Awesome. I used Epicure's 3-onion dip mix instead of the minced white onion, making it super easy!

This is a really good recipe! I used the salad greens from my garden and other organic veggies. I added a clove of garlic, a boiled egg, and a 1/2 tsp of Worcestershire sauce to it...it added a bit of kick...AWE-SOME!!! Thank you so much! This is definitely a keeper!!! Reply
Jess July 1, 2012 at 7:05 PM i just bought a bottle of thousand island dressing to make taco salad and as i was adding it to my cart i thought to myself, i bet there is a recipe for this somewhere!!! i am thinking that more and more these days. i love to make things from scratch. thanks for sharing!

bashy August 3, 2012 at 10:01 AM Even though it's a great recipe there is still unpronounceable mystery ingredients, as they can be found in mayonnaise and ketchup. so real "doh" moment would come from making those from scratch as well.

Just call me Suzy Q August 7, 2012 at 10:55 AM Homemade mayo and ketchup are super easy too. I've made both but need to perfect my ketchup. Ketchup takes a lot of time (for truly homemade, not with tomato paste) but mayo is a cinch...but then to be truly homemade, we'd have to grow and process the tomatoes, the sugar cane (or the bee hives)the olives from the tree, not to mention grow the lemons or make the apple cider vinegar ourselves, raise the chickens, drain the whey (from our homemade yogurt or

allison houle November 12, 2012 at 9:39 PM Yummy, thank you.. bookmarked, perfect ratios. Preservatives scare the crap out of me. Do my family and I eat them daily -sure. That's my doh moment. Our bodies do not know how to break them down nor what to do with them. Bad news....how does mayo from scratch last a few weeks, but from hellmans/cains or stores last months and months....sitting warm in a plastic container on the grocery shelf .... Reply
Robert Corwin November 21, 2012 at 10:55 PM Great Recipe, I live overseas and I cant live without my 1000, so try this when you are short of stores. the ratios are 1/2 white, 1/3 red and 1/6 everything to taste. but Mayo or your yogurt or whatever, for white, Ketchup or paste or even a ground hand smashed tomato for red, then anything close to a full italian oil and vinegar and spices salad dressing, or make your own, stir it up, you are there. Got to have 1000 and its all around you. I do agree, if the name is not pronuouncable and/or ends in "ate" do not eat it. Reply
