I love making homemade salad dressings.
If you’ve been here awhile, you already know this. I have found a way to make a lot of my favorite store-bought salad dressing at home and usually make them a little healthier. This Thousand Island Dressing is not only easy, but also delicious and a fraction of the calories. Typically, for 2 tablespoons of this dressing, it’s around 140 calories and usually contains necessary ingredients and preservatives. This recipe consists of 6 ingredients, takes less than minutes to make and is only 68 calories for 3 tablespoons. 😳 Needless to say, this is my go-to thousand island dressing!
To Make This Homemade Thousand Island Dressing You Will Need:

- onion – Use yellow or white onion.
- dill pickles & juice – I prefer Claussen pickles. (not sponsored)
