Take Your Salad to the Next Level with Our Delicious Thousand Island Dressing!
No need to buy salad dressing when you can make a flavor-packed dressing in minutes using everyday pantry ingredients.
I was inspired to make this salad dressing by a local restaurant that serves the best Thousand Island Dressing I’ve ever tasted. While I didn’t ask for the recipe, I spent a reasonable amount of time eating small bites on a spoon and writing down what I tasted. The best part is that I nailed it! It’s loaded with chopped hard-boiled eggs that take salad dressing to a new level.
Why We Love This Dressing
- Not only is it super simple to make, but it’s loaded with zingy flavor.
- It goes great on iceberg lettuce and other salads, it’s perfect as a sandwich or hamburger spread, extra flavorful on wraps, and don’t forget to try it as a dip for french fries.
Ingredients
Let’s Make Restaurant-Style Thousand Island Salad Dressing
- Placed all of the ingredients into a small dish.
- Gently fold them together.
- Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
How To Make My Wedge Salad
- Start by cutting the iceberg lettuce in half at the core on the bottom of the head.
- Using the core as your guide, cut each half in half again.
- If the core is really thick, carefully cut it off.
- Now the wedges are ready for dressing and garnish.
Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips
- This dressing can be made in advance and will stay good in the refrigerator for 1 week. Store it in an airtight container.
- My favorite airtight containers for homemade salad dressings are small mason jars with lids. They also make a great shaker for mixing vinaigrettes.
- I like to garnish the wedge salad shown in the photos with crumpled bacon and onion straws.

Just made this and I have to tell you it is the best thousand Island dressing I’ve ever had. i’m going to let it tighten up in the refrigerator overnight and I’m sure it’ll get better. This is an excellent recipe.
