Serves: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1/2 cup of vegan mayonnaise, 1/4 cup of ketchup, 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sweet pickle relish, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the 1/2 cup of vegan mayonnaise. This will serve as the creamy base for your dressing.
- Next, pour in the 1/4 cup of ketchup. This will add sweetness and a tangy flavor to your dressing.
- Then, add the 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. This will give your dressing a nice acidity that balances the creaminess of the mayonnaise.
- Incorporate the 1 tablespoon of sweet pickle relish into the mixture. This will add a sweet and slightly tangy crunch.
- Sprinkle in the 1 teaspoon of onion powder for an extra layer of flavor. You can also use finely chopped fresh onions if you prefer a chunkier texture.
- Using a whisk or a fork, mix all the ingredients together until well combined and smooth. Make sure there are no lumps and the dressing is a uniform color.
- Taste the dressing and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Start with a pinch of each, and adjust according to your preference.
- Once the dressing is well mixed and seasoned, transfer it to an airtight container or a jar with a lid.
- Refrigerate the Thousand Island dressing for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. However, it can be used immediately if you’re in a hurry.
- Serve your vegan Thousand Island dressing as a dip for vegetables, a spread for sandwiches, or as a dressing for salads. Enjoy!
Tips
- Use high-quality vegan mayonnaise for the best creamy texture and flavor.
- For extra tang, try using different types of vinegar like white wine vinegar or rice vinegar.
- If you prefer a chunkier texture, finely dice fresh onions instead of using onion powder.
- Allow the dressing to sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors fully develop and meld together.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week to enjoy fresh dressing anytime.
- Experiment with adding a dash of hot sauce or smoked paprika for a unique flavor twist.
- For a lower-fat version, you can substitute part of the vegan mayo with silken tofu or cashew cream.
