It's hard to make so small amount of tomato sauce as much we need for a cup of thousand island recipe. We have to make a bigger batch of tomato sauce and use only as much as needed for the amount of mayo we are preparing. We can freeze the rest in batches for next time.

Mayonnaise
Break and separate eggs. We will only need the yolks. Get the oil ready by pouring it into a measuring jug. Add the mustard to the egg yolks.
Whisk yolks in a mixing bowl. Pour oil very slowly into the bowl of whisked yolks.
Add the lemon juice and salt. Keep whisking and adding the second half of the oil until the end.
Tomato Sauce
Saute the diced onion on high heat until it gets a glassy / translucent look for about 3-5 minutes. Add the crushed garlic and saute until it gets fragrant for about a minute.
Mix in the tomatoes or the pureed tomato and add in the vinegar and/or the optional white wine.
Cook it on low heat for about 5 – 10 minutes or until the sauce gets the desired thickness. Sprinkle in the paprika and optional hot spices then cook it for another minute.
