Russian Dressing

This flavorful salad dressing is based on mayonnaise and chili sauce or ketchup in its most basic variety, but there are a lot of other varieties with added minced pimento, green peppers, minced onion, chives, or chopped hard-boiled eggs. Aside from being used as a salad dressing, Russian dressing is also used as an ingredient in various dishes. Despite its name, it doesn't have Russian origins and it is a fully American invention.
