This method 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 cook this From-scratch Thousand Island Dressing Set out:

• mayonnaise – I certainly LOVE Chosen Foods mayo made with avocado oil. (not sponsored)
• full-fat greek yogurt – I like to use Oikos plain full-fat yogurt (with 25 grams protein). (not sponsored)
• ketchup – Can use kitchen-made, store-bought or sugar-free ketchup.
• onion – Use yellow or white onion.
• dill pickles & juice – I prefer Claussen pickles. (not sponsored)
• sugar – Lends a touch of sweetness.

In a medium bowl, measure and add 1/4 cup of both mayonnaise and plain full-fat greek yogurt.

Pour in 1/2 cup of ketchup.

And add in 1/3 cup of both finely diced dill pickles and yellow or white onion and 1 teaspoon sugar.

Stir well to combine.

Lastly, thin out with 2 to 4 tablespoons of the dill pickle juice or until it reaches a desired consistency.

Mix to combine.

Store in a container with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate for up to 7 days.
