Thousand Island Dressing




An alternate tale claims that the name refers instead to the multitude of small specks that dot the dressing.

In the 1950s, Thousand Island Dressing made of mayo, ketchup and pickle relish became a standard condiment, used on sandwiches and salads alike. The McDonald's Big Mac includes a Special Sauce , which is really just a variation of Thousand Island Dressing.

George Boldt , of Waldorf-Astoria Hotel fame, has also been widely credited with popularizing this condiment when he instructed his world famous maitre d' Oscar Tschirky to put the dressing on the menu at the Waldorf Astoria.
