Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 hard-boiled egg
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
1 tablespoon chopped green pepper
1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
1/2 small head iceberg lettuce
1/2 small head romaine lettuce
12 large spinach leaves
2 small celery ribs
1 small green pepper
1/2 cucumber
2 small tomatoes
1/2 cup mushroom

Steps:

To make dressing, mash the hard-boiled egg with a fork in a small bowl. Measure and add the rest of the ingredients and stir.
To prepare salad, fill a basin with very cold water. Separate the leaves of the iceberg and romaine lettuce and swish them around in the water. Tear the stems off the spinach leaves and discard them. Put the leaves into the cold water with the lettuce.
Cut the celery, green pepper, cucumbers, and tomatoes into bite-sized pieces and set aside in large bowl. Slice the mushrooms thinly and add them to the rest of the vegetables.
Dry the lettuce with paper towels, tear them into bite-sized pieces, and add them to the other vegetables. Toss the salad.
Dry the spinach leaves with paper towels. Line the salad bowl with the spinach leaves so that they peek out around the edge.
Mound the tossed salad in the middle. Serve in individual bowls with a dollop of Thousand Island dressing.

Lettuce Wedge Salad with Trisha's Easy Thousand Island Dressing image

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

Steps:

Wash the lettuce and remove any damaged or wilted outer leaves. Remove the lettuce core and discard. Cut the head into quarters and set it aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and the ketchup. Add the Tabasco sauce and pepper to taste. Place a lettuce wedge on each serving plate. Drizzle with the dressing.
Quick Lettuce Core Removal Tip
Slam the head of lettuce down on a cutting board, core-side down. The core will separate from the rest of the head with a twist and come out easily.
From Trisha
This dressing also makes a great topping for burgers.
From Gwen
There are no pickles in the dressing, thus no "islands." I call it Rushin' Dressing because you can mix it quickly when you are rushing to get dinner on the table.
