With this easy recipe, you’ll never want store-bought Thousand Island again.

First, of the four versions I created, my taste testers liked the one with egg theleast.

I found a few versions online that use plain yogurt instead of mayo.

This is traditionally a fairly sweet dressing intended to temper the bitterness of certain salad greens.

With that in mind, the sharpness from plain yogurt interferes too much with the sweetness of the dressing.

But its also a fantastic dipping sauce for vegetablesor, as one taste tester suggested, crispyFrench fries.

Surprise your guests with some zippy homemade Thousand Island dressing on the relish tray!

For a sweeter dressing, add a little more pickle relish.

The dressing will keep for about a week.
