"I love this dressing! I’m making it for the third time right now. - Rachel"

I made this Vegan Thousand Island Dressing because a craving came upon me out of nowhere. I don't know how long it had been since I had thousand island dressing, but I knew it was time to have it again.

This vegan salad dressing really only takes a couple of minutes to make - I promise! You can control the amount of spice and how thick it is.

Leave out the almond milk and use it as a dip for sliced cucumbers, celery, and other veggies.

I made this recipe using only vegan mayo, then later I made it with a combination of vegan mayo and vegan yogurt. I liked it both ways.

If you don't want all the fat and calories of the vegan mayo, I would do the half mayo, half yogurt route. If you prefer a richer, more indulgent dressing, I would do the all-vegan mayo way.

Another dressing to try is my Vegan Tahini Dressing recipe.

  • Sweet pickle relish: Adds a sweet tangy flavor.
  • Hot sauce: I have used a few different hot sauces for this, from jalapeño to sriracha sauce. Use your favorite. You can also leave it out.

    I thought I was the only one one who ever craved Thousand Island, throw pickles into something... anything... and I’m in. This recipe is by far and away better than any I’ve come up with, and so simple. Better, also, than any store-bought junk, but then what homemade dressing isn’t.
    Thanks Willow, you’ve done it again.5 stars
