Ingredients

  • 1 cup mayonnaise (such as Hellmann's or Duke's)
  • 1/3 cup ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon refrigerated prepared horseradish , or additional, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons grated onion (sweet Vidalia or yellow, see note)*
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 
  • 2 tablespoons finely-minced cornichons
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • a few dashes of hot sauce , to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Whisk together all ingredients in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour for the flavors to develop. (For the best flavor, make it the day before you plan to use it.) If you like your Russian dressing spicier, season to taste with additional horseradish and hot sauce.
  2. Store, tightly-covered in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Notes

  • *To easily grate onion, use the large shredding holes on a box grater. I like to use a sweet onion variety, such as Vidalia. For a more tart dressing, use yellow onion.
