HOMEMAD RUSSIAN DRESSING - spicy, tangy, sweet all in one. The perfect dressing for salad, to dip french fries, or on top of a Reuben #russiandressing #salad #healthy #happilyunprocessed

If you’ve followed our blog for a while, you’d know that there is one thing I especially like to make from scratch, and that’s salad dressings. Most store bought dressings contain subpar ingredients to withstand long shelf lives, such as canola oil, soybean oil, natural flavorings, and tons of salt.

Homemade Russian Dressing

Russian dressing is a creamy salad dressing or dipping sauce typically made of mayonnaise, ketchup, chili sauce, horseradish and that signature flavor of pickles, pickle juice or relish.

It was a standard dressing when I was growing up. I remember it vividly on store shelves as well as a choice at salad bars like Ruby Tuesday’s. You couldn’t make a Reuben sandwich or Rachel sandwich without it! But it compliments any sandwich or burger.

Ingredients:

Mayonnaise
Chili Sauce
Sour Cream
Parsley
Shallot, minced
Pickle Relish & Juice
Sugar
Lemon Juice
Horseradish
Worcestershire Sauce
Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Russian Dressing

In a medium bowl, combine all the ingredients.
Whisk until combined.

What I love about Russian dressing the most is the tang. I would recommend you start with ½ a Tablespoon of pickle juice and go from there. It can be a little much if you don’t want to actually taste pickle. I personally love it, so it’s a full tablespoon for me.
