You had to try this thing. I don’t like mayonnaise. I don’t like adding sweet condiments of any sort witch protein. But the balance was just right on this one particular hamburger at ol’ Jon’s.
A simple Thousand Island dressing can be made from mayo, ketchup and pickle relish. If you put those, separately, on a burger it's about the same as T'Island, or store-bought "sandwich spread." No, not exactly...I did say "about the same."
Oh...another thought. When I was a kid, a whole bunch of years ago, my dad introduced me to Durkee Famous Sauce. Sort of a blend of mayo and mustard and horseradish...oh, lordy, it's goood! Burgers, sammiches, deviled eggs...'most anything but a Hershey bar...makes a cold roast beef sammich sit up and sing...
