Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
Vary It!
Don’t be tempted to turn this into a fancy salad but add pitted ripe olives if you like.
Speed It Up! Use the bottled version of Thousand Island Dressing. To perk up the flavor and make bottled taste more like fresh, pour 1/4 cup of dressing into a bowl and add a dash of lemon juice. If you have a scallion in the fridge, chop it up and add it to the dressing as well.
