This recipe is bold and so deeply flavorful. And so much better than the bottled variety!

We don’t eat this dressing that often, but, wow, is this version ever good. It’s nice on a green leaf salad, but it’s especially good as a dressing on a sandwich. Of course, a homemade Reuben sandwich wouldn’t be the same without this dressing. And it all comes together in a matter of minutes! We love it on burgers, including our epic Copycat Big Mac.

If you prefer little to no spice level, then pull back on the chili sauce, or omit it completely.

In order for the onion to not overpower the flavor profile, we run it along the side of our box grater. This prevents you from biting into chunks of raw onion but keeps a nuance of fresh onion flavor.

Now, it’s time to bring it all together! The smell of this wonderful dressing is so inviting.

All you have to do is grab a fork and mix it all together.

We like to transfer the Russian Dressing to a jar with a tight-fitting lid and keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Russian Dressing Makes a Reuben Complete
