THOUSAND ISLAND DRESSING (LOWER FAT)
This will make about 2 cups of dressing or 8 (1/4-cup servings) if you want a full-fat version, omit the water and add in 1/4 cup more of full-fat mayo. This dressing will increase in flavor with refrigeration time, so it is best if chilled overnight before using.
