Thousand Island Dressing

Let me show you today the dressing recipe which we lately enjoy together with crispy chicken wings or oven baked chicken legs. This Thousand Island dressing is actually perfect for salads as well, but we like to combine it with meat - oven baked, grilled, fried etc. There are so many recipes on the internet, but I finally chose this one because it's simple and we like it so much. By the way, here is an interesting detail. My Sofia can't stand raw onions, but because she can't feel the onions in this dressing, she keeps asking for some more :)

I've come up with a low-carb version of this recipe (you'll find all the details below), I don't use sugar and instead of ketchup I use tomato paste and it's still very good.

Ingredients
Mayonnaise
1 cup
Tomato paste
1 tbsp
or 2 tbsp ketchup
Vinegar
2 tbsp
it's better if you have vinegar from pickles or 1-2 tbsp pickled cucumber juice
Lemon
0.5 pieces
Sweet paprika
1 tsp
White onion
0.5 pieces
Step by step
Step 1

Prepare the mayonnaise following any recipe you want, you can even combine it with some yogurt or cream for a fresher taste. 

I usually make the quick mayonnaise or the keto mayonnaise recipe.

Step 7

Mix well and adjust with salt, even though the salt in the mayonnaise should be enough. 

The sauce is good right away and it's even better if kept 1-2 hours in the fridge.  

You can store it in the fridge even for 5 days.
