"I did toy with the idea of doing a cook-book.... I think a lot of people who hate literature but love fried eggs would buy it if the price was right." - Groucho Marx, Comedian
The hard boiled egg adds so much to this recipe. While the cooked egg yolk adds creaminess to the dressing, the egg white adds the all-important islands that make this dressing iconic.
This is a solidly traditional thousand island recipe but you can posh it up with some great variations. Instead of the pickle relish, dice some small gherkins instead of the pickle relish. Or replace the tomato paste with sun-dried tomato paste or even chipotle paste.
Even with the no-salt added ingredients this recipe can be a bit salty because of the mayonnaise. Prepared mayo has a lot of added salt – about 110 milligrams per tablespoon. If you are on a low sodium diet, leaving out the salt will help, as will using low sodium mayonnaise. Better yet, make your own mayo. It is really easy and so much more tasty.
