I never have to buy salad dressing!

This is an easy creamy slaw recipe that goes well with various American-style BBQs, and since we're in high BBQ and grilling season, I thought it a good time to share.I call it a Thousand Island Slaw because the flavors mimic that sweet tangy savory creamy flavor of Thousand Island dressing. It's my eldest daughter's favorite slaw, which she requests whenever we make fried or roasted chicken or barbecue - she loves to snack on leftovers later in the day.And I am all about whatever gets my family happily munching on raw veg.Add some celery seeds (just about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoonful), and it's great on a Reuben, too.When you're selecting heads of cabbage, always check for tightly packed leaves and high density of water content. A good way to check for the latter is to pick up a few of the same size and select the one that's heaviest for that size. This means the cabbage is fresh and still has a lot of its original water content.

This recipe can be used in diverse ways, such as a topping, sauce, or salsa on meat or with tortilla chips. I have used it atop my Jamaican Skirt Steak.

You'll never go back to store bought thousand island. my husband and I use this dressing almost everyday we love it .

This is a sweet yet spicy tomato sauce that I like to add to my chilli. You could put it on anything you wanted too really but it's a really good fit when mixed into a chilli I think. If you don't want the sweetness to it simply substitute the 9 roma tomatoes with 4 beefsteak tomatoes and leave out the brown sugar entirely. When prepping the peppers don't include the bell peppers' seeds into the mixture however, do include the habanero seeds.

Feel free to omit the chilies for a more mild sauce

YOU CAN USED ANY STORE BOUGHT SAMBAL OELEK OR SPICY SAUCEOR DO IT YOUR SELF

Aka, thousand island, aka boom boom sauce, aka yum yum sauce, depending on where you get it. Anyways, it's great on salads, burgers, reubens, or used as a dipping sauce for chicken, seafood, fries, or just about anything you can think of. Here's a pretty good take:
