Notes

Thousand Island dressing can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 week!
 
You can use any brand of relish you like for this recipe, just be sure to use a sweet relish. If you use a dill pickle relish or a spicy relish, you won't get the same Thousand Island dressing taste.
 
Apple cider vinegar can be used in place of the white vinegar in the recipe, but personally, I prefer using white vinegar more.
 
You can also use vegan mayonnaise for this recipe!
