THOUSAND ISLAND SALAD DRESSING
Because this dressing is thick, one cup of it will coat only about 3 quarts (or about 6 servings) of salad greens. It works best with mild greens such as iceberg and romaine lettuce.
• 1 small clove garlic, peeled • 1/4 teaspoon salt • 1 tablespoon green olives with pimentos, minced (3 to 4 olives) • 1/4 cup minced sweet pickle • 1/2 hard-boiled egg, minced • 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley leaves • 1 teaspoon lemon juice • Pinch ground black pepper • 1/2 cup mayonnaise • 2 tablespoons chili sauce
1. Mince the garlic, then sprinkle it with the salt. Use the flat side of a chef's knife to turn the garlic and salt into a smooth paste.
2. Mix the garlic paste, olives, pickle, egg, parsley, lemon juice, and ground black pepper together in a medium bowl. Add the mayonnaise, chili sauce, and 1 tablespoon water and stir until uniform. (The dressing can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.)
