I’ll always remember making Thousand Island Dressing as a girl at a 4-H cooking meeting.
I was probably 7 or 8 years old, and everyone in the cooking class road the bus home after school to our cooking leader’s house. As soon as we’d get there, we’d have to wash our hands. And then we’d sit around the kitchen table or in the living room to go over what we were going to learn that day. We had a little cookbook that we followed that gave detailed instructions as well as tips and nutritional information.
Some days we’d make cookies, or muffins, and I think there was usually a snack or an actual meal that we prepared. We would pair off and each group would be in charge of doing part of the meal, maybe something like potato boats. Do you remember those?
One afternoon my group was assigned a dressing to go with a salad. It had eggs in it. It was delicious! And it was PINK!
I had never tasted a chunky, pink salad dressing before. (My mom bought Ott’s French Dressing and Ranch.) So, I was really branching out at this cooking meeting. But that’s what 4-H and learning how to cook is all about. Trying new things.
As a mom and recipe blogger, I was challenged one year to find a similar recipe to what I had learned as a girl.
This Thousand Island Dressing is very easy and perfect for little hands to prepare. Say for instance, my granddaughter, who is now 7 and who has hopes of joining her local 4-H club this next year!
