I was scrolling down my Instagram feed and spotted
a yummy looking salad from someone in Germany.
They described it as 'a big salad with American Dressing'.
Well, we don't have anything called American Dressing
here in America! haha. But it was peachy looking and
I wondered if it might be Thousand Island.
I did a little Google search and found that it is
mayonnaise based and had chopped pickles in it.
Sounds like Thousand Island to me!
They also sell it in a squeeze bottle to put on burgers.
Sounds like McDonald's Special Sauce, doesn't it?
In a strange coincidence, we hadn't had Thousand Island
dressing in quite a while and I had just picked up a jar
at the grocery a few days ago. How American of me!
Sometimes I make my own....just mayo, ketchup,
chopped onions, pickles, s&p and a little sugar. Tasty!
Another thing I discovered. Thousand Island Dressing
got it's name from the beautiful area where it was first
prepared, Thousand Island, New York. The story goes,
in the 20th century, a fishing guide's wife, Sophia Lalonde,
made it for her husband's shore dinner.
And the rest is history, you might say!
