Healthier Thousand Island Dressing in Under 5 Minutes

Healthier Thousand Island Dressing is packed with flavor but has less fat and sugar than store bought versions.

The quickest way to ruin a healthy salad is to pour on a bunch of sugary fat laden dressing. Thousand Island is one of the worst offenders!

This version tastes just like the store bought kind, but only uses the sweetener already present in the ketchup and pickle relish. Use low sugar versions of those if you want.

The fat is reduced by swapping part of the mayonnaise for some plain yogurt. Greek yogurt will be thicker so start with a bit less milk and thin to your liking.
