What is Classic Russian Dressing?

Don't be fooled by the name; Classic Russian Dressing isn't Russian. It was conjured up in New Hampshire in the early 20th century. Initially, it contained caviar, a Russian staple, hence the name. It's a creamy, mildly spicy condiment of mayonnaise, ketchup, sour cream, prepared horseradish, and dill relish.

The Difference Between Russian and Thousand Island Dressings

While the internet might have blurred the lines between Russian and Thousand Island dressings, they differ. Both start with a base of mayonnaise and ketchup-style sauce, but Russian dressing packs a punch with the addition of horseradish and is generally less sweet.

What Pairs Well With Russian Dressing?

This dressing isn't merely a salad dressing; its applications are versatile. Use it to jazz up sandwiches, as a sumptuous burger topping, or as a dip for battered seafood.
