“Diner Darling” Thousand Island Dressing

Creamy, tangy, and just a little retro—this dressing brings back burger nights and deli counter nostalgia, minus the dairy and mystery ingredients.

Ingredients:

• ½ cup vegan mayo

• 2 tbsp ketchup

• 1 tbsp pickle relish

• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar

• ½ tsp onion powder

• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Stir all ingredients together until smooth.

2. Chill for 30 minutes to let flavors meld.

3. Store in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Kick It Up a Notch:

• Add chopped olives or capers for briny depth

• Stir in a pinch of smoked paprika

• Use as a burger sauce or sandwich spread

Alpha-Gal Tips:

• Use egg-free mayo if needed

• Sub coconut yogurt for extra creaminess

• Pickle relish should be vinegar-based, not gelatin-thickened

Pairings: Reuben-style sandwiches, wedge salads, veggie wraps, dipping sauce for fries
