thousand island

Creamy pink condiment

Thousand Island is a salad dressing made from mayonnaise and ketchup or chili sauce, typically with pickles, onions, and other finely chopped ingredients mixed in.

The pinkish-orange dressing appears on salads and as a sandwich condiment—it's essentially what makes a Reuben a Reuben.

Named after the Thousand Islands region along the U.S.-Canada border.
