For a smooth Thousand Island Dressing, add all ingredients to a blender or food processor and blend/process until smooth. For a chunky dressing, whisk ingredients together in a bowl until smooth and well-combined.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight, to allow flavors to meld and sugar to fully dissolve. Stir well before using. Leftovers may be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 7 to 10 days.
Notes
Possible substitutions/variations:
Substitute white vinegar or lemon juice for the apple cider vinegar.
Omit the dill relish and increase the amount of sweet relish to 1 tablespoon in its place.
Substitute 1 tablespoon finely minced (red, white, or sweet yellow) onion for the onion powder.
Omit the garlic powder, if you wish.
Stir in half of a hard-boiled egg that's been finely minced or grated. If doing so, however, the dressing will only keep in the fridge for up to three days.
