If you add a little ketchup, relish, chopped onion, and I think a dash
of sugar, you end up with thousand island dressing. What I like on
mesclun is a cucumber salad dressing made with mayo, cucumbers, onions,
and sour cream. I use the food processor for the cucumber and onions
then stir in the mayo and sour cream. I'm guestimating with the amounts
but I would say 1:1 sour cream to mayo, about 1/2 c finely chopped
cucumber, and a couple tbsp finely chopped onions.
