How to make Salad Dressing That Tastes Like Thousand Island Dressing

This is a recipe a friend of mine gave me. I tried it and it was quite good. It is simple and inexpensive to make out of stuff you already have in your kitchen

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 cup reduced fat mayonnaise
• 3 tsp honey mustard
• 1 hard boiled egg chopped
• 2 tbsp green pepper chopped
• 1 tbsp celery chopped very fine
• 1 1/2 tbs onion chopped very fine
• 1 tsp paprika or season salt

1. Put the mayonnaise in a small mixing bowl .
   
   I use a glass bowl that will hold about 4 cups that way it is easy to store.

2. add the honey mustard and eggs ( chop the eggs fine so that they mix in well)

3. Mix completely until the eggs are saturated.
   
   I try to crush the eggs fine into the dressing so that its not so chunky.

4. Mix in the remaining ingredients and stir mixture until it is fully blended.

5. Serve over salad of your choice.
   
   I like having this over a salad with lettuce,tomatoes,cucumbers,and avocado. I sometimes have bacon bits and croutons with it. It is better than the bottled dressings and has a much fresher taste!

Tips & Warnings

• The dressing is best if you let it sit a hour before serving
• you can use regular mayonnaise if you want
• you can make alterations and adjustments adding other ingredients you may like.
• Enjoy the dressing!
• do not leave out the dressing must be refrigerated.
• keep for 2-3 days and then toss out
