  • Cuisine: American

Description

A creamy and savory dressing flavored with shallot, horseradish, and Worcestershire. Classically served on Reubens, it’s also great on burgers, with chicken, potatoes and fries. 


Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup avocado oil or olive oil mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup whole-milk Greek yogurt 
  • ¼ cup Chili Sauce, ketchup, or unsweetened ketchup*
  • ¼ cup grated shallot (1 small shallot)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons prepared horseradish
  • ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • A few dashes Tabasco 
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients until combined; season with salt, pepper and additional hot sauce to taste.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before using.

Russian Dressing will last up to 2 weeks stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. 


Notes

*Chili sauce is traditional in Russian Dressing. It tastes incredibly similar to regular ketchup and can be used interchangeably. Both do contain corn syrup. For a more natural, lower-sugar option I recommend using unsweetened ketchup. Add a dash of honey if needed.

Low-fat: for a lower-fat option replace a ¼ cup of the mayonnaise with an additional ¼ cup Greek yogurt. The texture and flavor will will be slightly altered. I do not recommend using this lower-fat version for griddled sandwiches as it will release too much liquid. It will work nicely as a dip for crispy chicken, fries and/or potatoes.
