Seafood Salad With Thousand Island Dressing

Easy recipe for thousand island dressing and seafood salad

What kind of dish is Seafood Salad Thousand Island Dressing⁇

I like Thousand Dressing so I tried making it myself. Since mayonnaise is the base, there is richness and acidity is accented. The use of seafood adds a touch of glamor to the dish(*´ᵕ`*)ﾉ❀

Because it is handmade, the calorie is modest. You can use your favorite ketchup or mayonnaise to make your own dressing.

I used pure select low calorie mayonnaise and Heinz ketchup. Heinz’s ketchup is delicious with garlic in it. When using a different ketchup, I add a little garlic.

This recipe is so simple that you can make it anytime.

Original Southern dressing contains chopped garlic, onion, peppers, etc. You can make the sauce more authentic by adding chopped pickles.

It goes well not only with seafood, but also with meat, so I recommend using it on hamburgers and hot dogs.

About frozen seafood mix

Frozen seafood mix tends to shrink and become dry if you add it to hot water, stir-fry it, or heat it in the microwave without thawing it.

This is caused by the moisture inside the seafood being removed due to osmotic pressure.

If you have time, it is best to thaw the seafood mix by soaking it in 3% salt water for an hour. For 150g of seafood mix, use 200g of water and 6g of salt.

This thawing method also has the effect of removing fishy odors.

I’m Naoko. After graduating from a registered dietitian training school, I am working as a registered dietitian at a hospital in Japan. I love to cook and eat delicious food. I make recipes with calorie counting. The reason why all the ingredients are written as “g” is to accurately calculate calories. I am especially good at cooking with pressure cookers and ovens. I would like to introduce the recipe to foreigners who are interested in Japanese food. So I started writing Japanese home cooking recipes on my blog in English. 大学卒業後、管理栄養士として病院で勤務しています。 レシピはカロリー計算を出来るだけ正確に行いたいので“g”で表記しています。 日本の家庭料理のレシピを英語で紹介しています。 圧力鍋とオーブンを使う料理が得意です。 日本食・和食に興味を持ってもらえたら嬉しいです。 よろしくお願いします(*ˊᵕˋ)♡‧₊
