Russian Dressing. I’d never heard of it until a few years ago, but it’s a crucial component of a Reuben Sandwich, so this is why I decided to make it. But whether you’re looking to make this for a Reuben, or just use it on a different type of sandwich, a salad, or something else entirely, it’s a quick, simple and delicious dressing with a lovely kick from the horseradish.
Why is it called Russian Dressing? I’ve no idea as it was invented in Nashua, New Hampshire, by James E. Colburn in the 1910s. If anyone knows why it’s called Russian Dressing then drop me a line!
