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.
