Recipe : Thousand Island Dressing
Cook Book : The Australian Women's Weekly Cook.
I got this cookbook as a Christmas Present last year from my Mother-in-law. I have used a few times already, there are so many simple recipes in here it's hard not to.
For this week's theme, I had no idea at first on what to make. Tangy... I thought about it for about a week and looked through a few of my cookbooks. Then, I thought about making home-made mayonnaise. Even better, home-made Thousand Island Dressing.
I've seen and read about how easy it is to make mayonnaise, I actually didn't think that it would that easy.
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 250ml olive oil
- 1 tbl lemon juice
- 60ml tomato sauce
- 1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
- 4 tbl capers, finely chopped
- 4 tbl red capsicum, finely chopped
- salt
- In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and dijon mustard till combined and smooth
- While whisking, slowly drizzle in the olive oil
- Keep whisking till the mixture thickens
- Stir in the lemon juice
- Add the rest of the ingredients and stir
- Serve with seafood or chicken
My thousand Island dressing was perfect with the Australian Salmon my brother @MrEd2U caught while holidaying in Lakes Entrance in Victoria. I'm such a lucky girl :)
Bon Appetite,

Oh Yum! I love love good thousand island sauce.
There's nothing better than freshly caught fish. This looks goooood!
Ooh, freshly caught fish! You are lucky! I've never made my own mayonnaise - I should give it a go soon. It doesn't keep well so the ready made stuff is always more practical!
Home made dressing with freshly caught fish - and a family affair too!
Does it get any better?
What a fantastic idea, and the fish looks delicious too!
It used to be my favourite dressing when I was working on cruise ship... haven't tasted it since... thank you for bringing back memories, I must try your recipe :)
I was never a fan of A Thousand Island dressing out of a bottle, until my friend made one from scratch for his son's 1st Birthday Party. It was very different and delicious incomparison to the store-bought stuff. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Gosh, I wish I had a brother who caught fish and gave them to me ;)
