What’s your favorite way to use Russian dressing? This classic condiment can dress up any sandwich, including burgers, turkey clubs and even tuna fish. Without it, Reuben sandwiches<\/a> would just be corned beef with Swiss cheese and sauerkraut. Russian dressing is a zesty, versatile spread that adds a perfect mix of heat and sweetness to almost any dish.<\/p>\n Russian dressing is typically made with mayonnaise, chili sauce or ketchup, horseradish and Worcestershire sauce. Some variations can include pimentos, pickles, chives and spices such as paprika, onion powder and mustard. Some people add hot sauce for an extra kick.<\/p>\n There’s some debate over where Russian dressing originated. Some sources claim that the tangy sauce was created by a guy in New Hampshire in the early 20th century; others suggest it was a popular condiment at the Russian Tea Room in New York City. The one thing that everyone pretty much agrees on is that it is not<\/em> Russian in origin.<\/p>\n Although Russian dressing and Thousand Island dressing<\/a> look similar and share mayonnaise and chili sauce as ingredients, their tastes are on opposite ends of the flavor spectrum. Russian dressing has a spicier kick, and is often made with horseradish, hot sauce and paprika. Thousand Island dressing, on the other hand, tends to feature pickle relish, onions, olives and sometimes boiled eggs, which give it a sweeter taste and a chunkier texture.<\/p>\n In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, chili sauce, horseradish, minced shallots, hot pepper sauce, Worcestershire sauce, ground mustard, smoked paprika and salt until they’re blended. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dressing for at least two hours before serving.<\/p>\n Russian dressing can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.<\/p>\n The most well-known use for Russian dressing is in a classic Reuben, but you can also use it as a burger topping<\/a> or a sauce for sandwich wraps<\/a> or panini recipes<\/a>. Pair it with dinner staples like salmon steaks<\/a>, crispy baked chicken thighs<\/a>, or grilled ribeye steak<\/a>. This dressing is the perfect tangy dipping sauce for things like coconut fried shrimp<\/a>, fried zucchini<\/a>,\u00a0baked sweet potato fries<\/a>\u00a0or fast food-style onion rings<\/a>. Or go the greener route and drizzle it over one of your favorite dinner salad recipes<\/a>.<\/p>\n To make Russian dressing less spicy, reduce or remove the hot pepper sauce. You can also use less horseradish or use a milder variety, decreasing the bite while keeping some of its distinctive flavor. Increasing the amount of mayonnaise in the dressing will make it creamier and help absorb some heat.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Learn to make classic Russian dressing with this easy recipe.
