Homemade Russian Dressing Recipe
This Homemade Russian Dressing mixes mayonnaise, chili sauce, prepared horseradish, smoked paprika, diced onion, and fresh parsley to create a creamy, zesty condiment. Balanced with Worcestershire and Tabasco sauces, salt, and pepper, it develops a piquant flavor with a smooth texture, classic for sandwiches and salads. The preparation involves simple whisking and chilling to deepen the flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups mayonnaise
- 1 cup chili sauce
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons horseradish prepared
- ½ yellow onion peeled and small diced
- 1 tablespoon parsley chopped, fresh
- Worcestershire sauce to taste
- Tabasco sauce to taste
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add the ingredients to a medium-size bowl.

Notes
- Make up to 3 days ahead for best flavor melding.
- Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 7 days; dressing is not suitable for freezing.
- Russian dressing has a zestier profile than Thousand Island, due to horseradish and absence of pickles and eggs.
- Substitute chili sauce with ketchup if preferred.
- Adjust spice with horseradish and Tabasco according to taste.
