- Thousand Island Dressing
- Cream Cheese
How to Make 1000 Island Vegetable Dip
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup light mayonnaise, 1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon paprika, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Using a hand-held mixer, blend the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy, resembling the consistency of cottage cheese. If the mixture is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water or milk until desired consistency is reached.
- Refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and chill thoroughly. Serve chilled with an array of fresh vegetables such as carrot sticks, celery sticks, broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, bell pepper strips, cucumber slices, and cherry tomatoes.
- Garnish with fresh herbs (dill or parsley) before serving, if desired.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
