condiment that is not only popular on its own, but it also serves as a base for
several other different sauces and salad dressings. From the ranch dressing to the
Thousand Island dressing, most creamy variants of sauces and Salad Dressing
are made from a mayonnaise with the addition of other ingredients to transform
this classic favourite.
The Thousand
Island dressing is supposed to have originated somewhere in a region of the
same name located in between the United States and Canada, but its earliest
reference in print does not appear until 1912. Over the years, different Recipes of the dressing were reported in
different parts of the United States and it took several years to arrive upon a
commonly accepted Chicken Recipe.
Yet, variants abound, and ingredients such as pickles, onions, hard-boiled
eggs, parsley, nuts, chives, olives and bell peppers have found their way into
the recipe from time to time.
The tangy and
sweet flavour of the classic Thousand Island
dressing has been replicated by people all around the world, taking it
to the homes of even those who were unaware of this creamy condiment. And its
popularity has only grown manifolds in the years since its introduction in the
culinary world. Originally used as a salad dressing, it continues its role in
giving taste and palatable flavours to a variety of combinations of vegetables,
meats and seafood. Several versions of the favourite side dish to burgers and
steaks, the Coleslaw,
are also prepared with a base of the Thousand Island dressing.

smooth texture and thick consistency of the Thousand Island dressing are also
significant in forwarding its appeal as a dipping and table sauce for the great
variety of comfort foods and fried snacks. But while the calorie content of the
