Kiawah Island Dressing

OK, you got me.  Yes, I am stealing the name of this dressing from the popular salad dressing at J. Alexander's.  This dressing is just a Thousand Island dressing with, I think, a cooler name.  It sounded good so, here is how I'd make it.

1 small clove garlic, minced
1 C. prepared mayonnaise
1/3 C. bottled chili sauce
3 Tbsp. ketchup
2 Tbsp. minced onions
3 tsp. sweet pickle relish
2 Tbsp. fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 large egg, hard cooked and chopped fine
Kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper, to taste

First, make a paste with the garlic glove.  Do this by sprinkling some kosher salt over the clove on a cutting board.  With the side of your chef's knife crush it until a paste forms.  In a medium bowl whisk the garlic and the rest of the ingredients together, correct seasoning with salt and pepper.  You can adjust the consistency with a small amount of cold water, if you like your dressing a little thinner.  Dressing will hold 3-4 days covered in the refrigerator.
