gluten-free | dairy-free
This Thousand Island dressing is naturally gluten-free and dairy-free—mayo, ketchup, and sweet relish layered with garlic, shallot, white wine vinegar, and mustard powder for far more depth than the bottled stuff. Victoria’s been making it since childhood and it’s part of her full homemade-dressings collection. Use it on salads, burgers, or as a dip for veggies and GF pretzels.
I love salads! Well, actually, I think I love salad dressings more than the actual salad, but it may be a toss-up.
No dressing in a jar can come close to homemade dressing, in my opinion. I love to make my own dressings, and Thousand Island has been one of my favorites since I was a kid. When you make your own salad dressing, you know all the ingredients, don’t need to read labels, and are assured it is gluten-free and dairy-free.
This recipe packs tons of flavor beyond the requisite mayo, sweet relish, and ketchup. Garlic, shallot, white wine vinegar, and mustard powder add many layers of flavor; I think you will love them.
This dressing is great for salads, burgers, or for dipping veggies and gluten-free pretzel sticks.
Now, go eat something amazing!
