I love making my own salad dressings. They come together so quickly, and they are very easy to customize any way I like. I can add more of the flavor profiles I like, and use lower fat ingredients. It is rich and creamy from mayonnaise with a kick of spice from horseradish and hot sauce. Some versions of it skip the the mayonnaise and it more closely resembles French dressing.
Grated Onion: I like to use the fine side of a cheese grater so the onion is very fine.Low Fat Mayonnaise: Using low fat mayo is a really easy way to cut back on the calories in dressing without sacrificing flavor.Ketchup: This is part of what gives Russian dressing it’s signature red hue.Freshly Ground Horseradish: This is different than prepared horseradish, so make sure you buy the right ingredient. You can read more on this below.Hot Sauce: Any cayenne pepper based sauce will work very well here. I used Frank’s RedHot.
Fresh Ground Horseradish can be found in small jars in the refrigerated section of U.S. grocery stores. Usually it can be located near the refrigerated pickles. When you look at the ingredients, it should only say horseradish. You’ll be happy you picked this up because you can also use it to make my Shrimp Cocktail Sauce. Because of the mayonnaise in this recipe, I do not recommend freezing this dressing.
