Once you have this dressing, you will never use store bought Thousand Island dressing again.
This recipe was developed over many years, and actually has its roots in Northern Wisconsin. My family visited a lodge consistently and loved eating dinners there. After visiting year after year, and looking forward to their delicious salads, we were finally able to extract this recipe from the cook. After moving to Kentucky we also stopped by a couple inns and found we could add a little zip to the recipe with chili sauce, as well as umami with Worcestershire sauce.
The resulting combination is about as good as it gets.
