Russian Dressing
Both Russian dressing and Thousand Island dressing start with a foundation of mayonnaise plus ketchup or ketchup-style chilli sauce, resulting in a pink salad dressing, which is why they are frequently confused. Mayonnaise, ketchup, and other ingredients make up the spicy American salad dressing known as Russian dressing. Russian dressing is similar to Thousand Island dressing. Some manufactured varieties resemble French or Catalina more because they lack mayonnaise and are clear rather than creamy.Russian dressing is on the spicy side, with a hint of heat from horseradish and hot sauce, in contrast to Thousand Island dressing, which is a little sweet and studded with pickle relish.
