Did any of you ever have a Big Mac? Yes, I am talking about the one from McDonald’s that has its on song and stigma attached to it. I’m not ashamed to admit that I have because that was what we grew up on before we knew any better!


Just sayin’! 

As time went on and I educated myself about health and nutrition, McDonald’s was a distant memory to my body. However, I do remember really enjoying the Bic Mac Sauce. It was kind of sweet but tangy and had a good hit of garlic and onion.

It really just made the dish. When I realized that this was actually Thousand Island Dressing I was super excited because it meant I could just start buying that.

Except when I did, it just wasn’t the same and was filled with a lot of sugar which made it taste syrupy and weird.  Those are two words you definitely don’t want describing your food.

It’s a good thing I am no stranger to making my own dressings and condiments because a homemade Thousand Island Dressing has been a game changer in this house.

What is Thousand Island Dressing?

    Thousand Island is sweet, it is primarily vinegar and sugar together. How does this taste like thousand island with no added tbsp of truvia or splenda , and no vinegar? This would taste like mayo with a hint of tomato and onions, -not- zippy tangy sweet and sour of thousand island. Back to the google search !
