How to Make Russian Dressing
Here we go with yet another example of "gross in the bottled incarnation but sublime when made at home". I don't know about you, but I associate Russian dressing with crappy salad bars and fast food "secret sauces", so the creation of a home-made version was a worthy challenge.
The thing about making your own, in addition to the usual list of health benefits in comparison to bottled versions, is that you can actually taste all of the individual ingredients. I will, at some point, do a vegan version-- but let this first run be dedicated to the Russian dressing purists.
This recipe features a raw egg, so it is imperative that you get the freshest, best quality one that you can possibly find.
Prep Time: 15 Minutes
Cooking Time: None
Yield: About 1 Cup
Ingredients:
1 Egg
5 Tsp Fresh Lemon Juice
½ Tsp Sea Salt
2 Tsp Prepared Mustard
½ Cup Canola Oil
1 Tbsp Hot Water
1 Tbsp Tomato Paste
2-3 Scallions, chopped
2 Tbsp Grated Fresh Horseradish
Directions:
Place egg, lemon juice, sea salt, and mustard in a blender or food processor. Begin to blend ingredients and add the oil, one drop at a time. Gradually increase the oil to a thin stream and continue until all oil is added or the mixture has reached a creamy consistency. Blend in the hot water. Remove from blender or food processor and stir in tomato paste, scallions and horseradish. Keep refrigerated.
