If you like Thousand Island Dressing, but are on a low carb diet or are seeking one without tomato (catchup) this great recipe! My family and guests cannot tell the difference and it’s made with stevia. On low-carb diets you probably already know that regular catchup is a no-no. Below you will find a dressing that tastes and looks like thousand island, but is low carb and a healthier choice!
My husband and daughter were leery of trying it, but found it tastes just like the real thing.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup gluten-free mayonnaise (I use Best Foods)
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon gluten-free white vinegar (I use Heinz)
- 1/8 – 1/4 teaspoon stevia
- enough filtered water to meet your desired consistency
Instructions
- Stir the above ingredients in a small left-over container with a tiny whisk until all lumps are smoothed.
- Add the water a little bit at a time to meet the thickness or thinness you desire.
Tips
- You will find that you will eventually want to adjust the paprika to meet just the right color of Thousand Island Dressing and adjust the stevia to meet your tastes. Just start out with a little of each and add to meet your tastes. If you add too much stevia it will taste bitter. Just be sure to measure everything so that you can repeat it the next time.
- If you’re looking for a low-fat dressing you may substitute the mayonnaise for Greek yogurt.
