Thousand Island on Wedge Salad (photos)

There are many reasons why I love my wife (MHNBPF). One of them is the fact that she makes the absolute best thousand island dressing I have ever had. My favorite way of enjoying it is on a wedge salad. I guess wedge salads are old fashioned, but in so many ways I am a relic, so there is no reason why I wouldn't like an old fashioned salad.
To make her thousand island dressing you will need.
- 1 cup good Mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup Ketchup
- 2 Tablespoons chopped celery
- 2 Tablespoons chopped green pepper
- 1 Tablespoon chopped onion
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 boiled eggs, grated
I love the color the ketchup and paprika give this dressing
Classic thousand island has no sweet pickles. The sweetness comes from the ketchup and green peppers.
Everything goes into a mixing bowl
The secret to good texture is to finely grate the eggs. They also give a layer of the flavor you want in good thousand island.
She's working on it now and my mouth is watering.
Wonderful! Unfortunately, this is a make and eat dressing. We had it last night and quickly put it into the refrigerator. We will have it again today for lunch and then discard any that remains. I would be afraid of keeping it longer than 24 hours and then only if it is kept cold/cold.
Here is the way I like it. A wedge of cold iceberg topped with thousand island. Life doesn't get much better than this.
All my stuff

What are you using to do that?

Box grater on larger 1/8 inch hole. They will not grate with the smaller hole. Just tears up the egg.

Looks good and I was just talking about the rarity of thousand island dressing the other day. Was also talking about French dressing. Did French dressing fall off the face of the earth?

I had a lifetime portion of French when I was a kid, so the salad dressing regulatory administration has banned me from further consumption of French dressing.
The only thousand island I ever want is this one. Not a big fan of bottled thousand island, or most salad bar thousand island.
During our early married days the wife made a killer Russian, but haven't seen her do that in over 30 years. Maybe I'll ask her to resurrect that one. As I recall, it was nice.

Thanks for sharing.
I would typically much rather have a good blue cheese, but it looks great. I may make some of that soon.

Yeah that was my fear on anything. Maybe I need a sharper box grater.

I would love to make that for homemade burger.

I love a good wedge salad, but I'm partial to blue cheese dressing on it. I don't know why iceberg has such a bad rap; it adds great crunch & a little bitterness. Sure, I love arugula, microgreens, spring mix, baby spinach: but I want a leaf of iceberg on my BLT.

Looks good except the green pepper

Yep. Iceberg is good stuff.

Yes, this is bragging.

that looks great... if you want more finely "chopped" eggs, quarter the eggs then push through a strainer
Posted on 8/11/16 at 12:20 am to MeridianDog
If you wanna take it up a notch, make your own mayo for it first.

A good thousand island dressing, particularly with hard boiled eggs is money. Looks great. Add some shrimp-even better.

Looks great but why toss after 24 hours? I believe it would keep at least a few days and would imagine gets a better.
I make egg salad with grated eggs and it makes them light. They will work on a smaller hole on my grater or at least I've never had a problem.
Now dust off the old 60's version of your cook book and give a recipe for Green Godess.

Maybe I'm just old school ... the only thing that goes on my wedge salad is blue cheese with a balsamic glaze!

Dear:
I was here doing my thing so long ago that blue cheese hadn't even gone funky yet.
Edited to add - Sorry - maybe you are a guy and that is not your photo. Oh well, there was always a chance it was.
