For Housemade 1000 Island Dressing

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Make the Housemade 1000 Island Dressing

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, white vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Lay out the slices of marble rye bread. Spread a generous amount of the 1000 island dressing on one side of each slice.

  3. 3

    Add Fillings

    On one slice, layer the corned beef or turkey, followed by the Swiss cheese, and then the sauerkraut. Top with the other slice of bread, dressing side down.

  4. 4

    Grill the Sandwich

    Preheat a skillet or grill over medium heat. Butter the outside of the sandwich lightly. Grill the sandwich for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice in half if desired, and serve warm with extra 1000 island dressing on the side.
