Russian Dressing

Russian Dressing is the perfect accompaniment to Reuben sandwiches and so much more. It’s slightly tangy, slightly spicy, and totally addicting. It takes only minutes to put together and will keep for a week in the refrigerator.

Russian Dressing

Some time back, the Master Taste Tester suggested that we should try our hand at making sauerkraut. Without going into the detail, our efforts were quite successful.  

At the present time, he’s gone through two jars. A third jar is in the refrigerator and is almost gone, and five jars are fermenting away.

 

You may be wondering what that has to do with Russian Dressing. The answer is the Reuben sandwich – layers of corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Russian or Thousand Island dressing, grilled between two slices of rye bread. Rather than use store-bought Thousand Island dressing on the Reuben, I decided to make my own using Zingerman’s Russian Dressing as a starting point.

Ingredients 

The ingredients included mayonnaise, chili sauce, sour cream, chopped parsley, minced onion, minced dill pickle, fresh lemon juice, grated horseradish, and Worcestershire sauce. 

Ingredients for Russian Dressing

Making the Russian Dressing

This recipe is so easy to make. In fact, the most time-consuming part was measuring the ingredients, chopping the parsley, and mincing the onion and the pickle. Once this was done, I added all of the ingredients to bowl.

I stirred the ingredients together to ensure that everything was well combined.

When I was finished I ended up with an incredibly flavorful Russian Dressing.

This Russian Dressing is so good I recommend using it on my Ultimate Reuben, Reuben Quesadillas, Easy Reuben Sliders, Mini Reuben Croustades or Reuben Eggrolls.
