Homemade Russian Dressing is a delicious dressing for sandwiches and invented in America.
Homemade Russian Dressing
I was unsure if I read right in my first search about Russian dressing being invented in America so I kept checking my data. Wikipedia confirms that the Russian dressing was developed in the USA, Nashua, New Hampshire, by James E. Colburn, likely in the 1910s. Russian dressing is unknown in Russian Cuisine.
Of all the dressings that I made for USA cuisine, namely ranch dressing, Silken Tofu Creamy Ranch Dressing and pickle relish I liked Russian dressing the most. I think because it has a sharp taste. Next time I plan to pair it with Veggie Quesadilla Recipe. For wraps, I will like to pair this dressing with Mutabal|Moutabel Recipe and some Falafel|Popular Falafel with Chickpeas too.
Hubby too liked Russian Dressing to Ranch dressing so I guess Russian dressing will get made more often. Russian dressing and Thousand Island dressing are variations of one another.
For Russian dressing, the main ingredients are mayonnaise, ketchup, and additional ingredients as available are horseradish, pimentos, chives and spices. I have however used homemade pickle relish, lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce along with salt and pepper.

Mayuri Patel says
Russian Dressing is perfect for sandwiches and as a dip. Easy to make with ingredients that are easily available in any pantry. Was wondering if Worcestershire sauce can be omitted without altering the taste as it contains anchovies.
ArchanaPotdar says
Avoid it if you wish, Mayuri but will recommend it. You get some veg ones too they will not contain anchovies try those.
Jayashree T Rao says
Such a lovely recipe to serve with finger food or snacks. Thanks for the recipe
