Russian Dressing Recipe
Description
Russian Dressing Recipe brings together mayonnaise and ketchup as a creamy base with the horseradish providing a subtle kick. Finely grated sweet onion, such as Vidalia, infuses the dressing with a mild, fresh sharpness, while minced cornichons add a textured tang. Worcestershire sauce and smoked paprika enrich the depth of flavor, and optional hot sauce can be adjusted to taste for desired spiciness. The ingredients are whisked and chilled to let the flavors meld, creating a harmonious dressing.
The texture of the dressing is smooth with occasional crisp bits of minced cornichons, giving it a balanced mouthfeel. It can be used as a sandwich spread, mixed into salads, or served as a dip complementing various dishes.
For best results, prepare the dressing at least one hour in advance or the day before to allow flavors to develop fully. The recipe keeps well refrigerated for up to a week, maintaining its tangy, slightly smoky profile.
Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise (such as Hellmann's or Duke's)
- 1/3 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon horseradish or additional, to taste, refrigerated, prepared
- 2 tablespoons onion sweet Vidalia or yellow, see note, grated
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons cornichon finely minced
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- hot sauce to taste, a few dashes
Instructions
- 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.
- Store, tightly-covered in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Notes
- Grate the onion using the large holes on a box grater for easy preparation and to release fresh onion flavor.
- Sweet onions like Vidalia give a milder and sweeter taste compared to yellow onions, which will make the dressing tangier.
