This creamy dressing is delicious on green salads, Reuben sandwiches, or in place of mayo for any of your other favorite sandwiches!

What is Russian Dressing?

Russian Dressing is a creamy mayo-based dressing. It’s very similar to Thousand Island Dressing, but often less sweet and a bit spicier. Our version is a bit of a blend of the two, bringing just a touch of sweetness and some kick with some hot sauce! Most versions have some kind of ketchup or tomato-based component, but ours, we prefer to omit the ketchup and add a bit more hot sauce!

Ingredients Needed

bowls of ground mustard, celery, pickles, mayonnaise, hot sauce, worschester sauce, parsley, and salt all labeled.

Mayonnaise – The base of this creamy dressing, and made even better when you make your own Mayonnaise From Scratch!
Hot Sauce – Sriracha, specifically, is the hot sauce we prefer for this Homemade Russian Dressing.
Pickles and Celery – Just a little crunch and acidity. The celery is totally optional, we love the aadded crunch, but if you prefer a much smoother dressing, you can omit.
Ground Mustard and Worcestershire Sauce – Key flavor enhancers for this dressing.
Parsley – A little for some added herbal freshness.
Salt – Just a touch!
