Another one of our top ten favorite sandwiches
is the Grilled Reuben.
I never buy bottled 1000 Island dressing because
it's so easy to mix up a batch at home
with ingredients I already have in the house.
I dont even measure anymore.
Just dump in a jar and stir it until
Just dump in a jar and stir it until
it looks like 1000 Island dressing.
I don't use it on salads. I like it on sandwiches.
It's great for a chicken or turkey sandwich.
It's also good on a BLT, another favorite sandwich.

Rita,
ReplyDeleteI dearly love a good Reuban sandwich. I have made a copy of your 1000 Island dressing and will make some Reuban's this week. I admit to usually buying dressing (Maria's) but will give this recipe a whirl.

ReplyDeleteIf I could have jumped through my iPad screen to grab that sandwich, I would have. It is my favorite. I copied your dressing recipe. The home-made touch always adds to a sandwich. I will definitely try it. Yum!
