Special Notes

This tangy dressing is perfect for Reuben sandwiches, salads, and as a dip. The combination of mayonnaise, ketchup, and pickle relish creates a unique flavor that's both sweet and tangy. The key is to let it chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. It's a great alternative to Thousand Island dressing.
