Mayonnaise and ketchup dressing

I needed a dip for my boys' raw veggies. I remembered that my mom
used to mix ketchup and mayonnaise and call it thousand island
dressing. I now know that thousand island contains other
ingredients. I have also seen this mix called Russian dressing or
marie rose sauce.

I mixed the two condiments until the dressing was the right shade of
pink. The taste was pure nostalgia. I grew up on crunchy iceberg
lettuce tossed with this dressing.

I have an old recipe that calls for "chilli sauce" rather than ketchup.
For 1 cup of mayonnaise use 1 tbs. of "chilli sauce" i prefer an Asian
version rather than the typical American versions like Heinz Chilli Sauce.

The same collection of recipes has a "Piquant Dressing"

"To a cup of mayonnaise add 1 tsp. each of finely chopped green onions,
olives, sour pickles, caper (well washed), chervil, onion and chives,
then add a scant tsp. of prepared mustard. Mix thoroughly."

Our local (SF bay area) Asian shopping areas carry a product called "Pat
Chun Garlic Chilli Sauce" and is what i use to make up this flavoured
mayo.

As good as it is on a burger i like to dip french fries in it as well.

I like it as much for dipping as i do tarter sauce. Its not as hot as
the sriracha. Horseradish, freshly grated or bottled is also a nice
addition to mayo.

I eat a lot of sandwiches, both hot and cold and often have some of this
flavoured mayo on hand. Aioli is a favourite.

You really need to add horseradish and chopped onion for Russian
Dressing (see "The Joy of Cooking".) It's also said that the addition of
caviar is optional! Even fake caviar sounds like a bit much!

My mother called it Russian dressing. I still make it a few times a year.
I never knew other lettuces existed as we always had iceberg too.

Years ago, before refrigerated air freight was common, iceberg was the
only lettuce commonly available unless you grew your own or lived in a
very cosmopolitan area or had access to an ethnic grocery store.

I have no idea where you'd find fresh chervil, but you can find dried
in the spice section... Spice Islands brand. Haven't bought it in a
long time (not much uses for it)... but I'm at the end of my bottle
and need to get some more.

Here's a few more from the same source.

Chutney Mayo
---------------------

To 1 cup of mayonnaise add 2 tbs. of English chutney. Mix thoroughly.

Caviar Horseradish Dressing
-------------------------------------------

To 1 cup of mayonnaise add 1 tbs. caviar and one tbs. of well drained
prepared horseradish.

Cranberry Dressing
----------------------------

To 1 cup of mayonnaise add 2 tbs. of well beaten cranberry sauce and 1
tsp. of grated lemon peel. Mix thoroughly.

Green Dressing
----------------------

Colour 1 cup of mayonnaise with juices expressed from watercress and
parsley, using twice as much parsley as watercress.

To obtain the colouring, break the greens in pieces, pound in a mortar
until thoroughly macerated, then squeeze through cheese cloth.

This method is much preferable to the use of artificial colouring as it
contains all the mineral salts of the greens. If desired add 2 tbs. of
well washed capers.

Ivan's dressing
-----------------------

To 1 cup of mayonnaise add 2 well washed, well sponged, and finely
chopped filets of anchovy and 1 tbs. of finely chopped onion. Mix
thoroughly.
