If you’ve followed us for a while here at A Family Feast, then you know that we are big proponents of cooking from scratch. This holds particularly true when it comes to salad dressings – like today’s homemade Russian Dressing!
Why buy the bottled stuff when you can make a delicious homemade version that tastes so much better? In fact – Russian Dressing is made from fairly common ingredients you might already have in your kitchen!
It’s a mix of mayonnaise, red onion, sweet pepper relish, ketchup, dill pickles, chives and prepared horseradish. We also like to give our homemade Russian Dressing a little extra ‘oomph’ 🙂 with the addition of some hot Hungarian paprika
– but regular paprika can also be used if you prefer.
And – check out our delicious Kielbasa Reuben sandwich recipe that is made using this homemade Russian Dressing!
We love seeing what you made! Tag us on Instagram at @afamilyfeast or hashtag #afamilyfeast so we can see your creations!

I can’t locate pepper relish. What do you suggest as a substitute? Thank you.
Any standard green relish (which is made with peppers) works for this recipe.
Amazon has the sweet pepper relish.
I already ordered it.
Thanks Georgianne!
You’re right – homemade dressings beat the bottled stuff any day of the week. This dressing looks dangerously addictive.
Great recipe! We love making everything from scratch too and this looks like a fantastic all around dressing!
I always forget how easy it is to make dressing at home – and the taste is SO much better! Love this!
This looks similar to a thousand island dressing which my family loves, so I am thinking they would love this for sure!
Growing up my step mom always used to make her own Russian dressing. Don’t tell her but yours looks way better 🙂
I do love things homemade, but you seem to be the master of homemade! This dressing looks great! Can’t wait to see the sandwich…
Thanks Kathy! 🙂
I love making homemade dressings. I can’t wait to try this!
Homemade dressings are just the best!
Mmmmm, this sounds so much better than store bought!
