Hi,
I was really hoping you can find Red Robin’s 1000 island dressing.
Thanks much,

Hi Aimee,
Sorry, I had no success finding this recipe. There are a couple of sites
that claim to have it. One site claims to have 5 copycats for it, but the
recipes have either been removed or else they never existed. Another site
claims to have a recipe for "Wishbone Thousand Island Dressing" and "Red
Robin Thousand Island Dressing", but instead of displaying a recipe, that
site tries to download malware to your computer. I'd stay away from both
sites.
I would speculate that Red Robin, like most chain restaurants, either has
a central commissary where their sauces are made, bottled, and shipped to
the local restaurants, or else they have contracted production of their
sauces to an outside vendor. Either way, the sauces are not made in the
local restaurants, and employees at the local restaurants would not know
the recipe; only employees at the commissary or the vendor, and Red Robin
headquarters, would have the recipe. Not only that, but the actual recipe
is most likely one for making the dressing in gallons for bottling, and
it may call for commercial flavorings that are extremely difficult for a
home cook to obtain.
Your best bet would be a copycat recipe, which is someone's attempt to
re-create the restaurant's recipe, or a "tastes-like" recipe, which is
simply another recipe for, or brand of, thousand island dressing that
someone recommends as tasting like Red Robin's. However, I was unable to
locate either of these types of recipes for Red Robin's thousand island
dressing. I'll post this for reader input. Maybe someone can, from their
own experience, recommend a "tastes-like" recipe.
