Paleo thousand island dressing is the creamy, tangy-sweet burger sauce made entirely from paleo ingredients. Paleo ketchup stirs into a paleo mayo base with garlic and onion powder for that classic diner flavor. It is the dressing that makes lettuce-wrapped burgers feel like an actual treat.
Pro Tips
- Taste as you blend — the sweetness of your paleo ketchup determines whether the dressing leans sweet or tangy. Adjust with a drop more lemon juice or ketchup as needed.
- Garlic and onion powder rather than fresh keeps the dressing smooth and shelf-stable in the fridge. Fresh aromatics would make it watery.
- Let the flavors meld an hour in the refrigerator before serving. The onion and garlic powders need time to hydrate and lose their raw edge.
- This is the dressing for the antipasto salad kabobs — and it is just as good spooned over grilled chicken or used as a fry dip.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does thousand island dressing keep?
Up to a week in a sealed jar in the refrigerator, limited by the paleo mayo base. Stir well before serving since it separates slightly as it sits.
Can I make this spicier?
A dash of hot sauce or a little horseradish transforms it into a zesty burger sauce while keeping it paleo. Start small and taste as you go.
What is paleo ketchup?
Ketchup sweetened without refined sugar — usually with dates or honey. It gives this dressing its signature sweet-tangy character without any grain-based additives.
