Thousand Island Slaw with Chicken

I grew up with Thousand Island dressing. It was my salad topping of choice. And it's still the only thing I'll eat on the chef salad I whip up every now and then. Just the thought of lettuce, hard-boiled egg and turkey makes me reach for the bottle. But I won't be reaching for the bottle anymore. The homemade Thousand Island dressing from this recipe is easy to make and delicious. (Save a little to dip a few boiled shrimp in!)
