Flo's Russian Dressing

We are such a society that has gotten away from preparing our meals totally from scratch. My Grandmother would never have had a purchased bottle of dressing in her fridge. I have never tried Russian but I think for the sake of trying something new, I will be making this or some dressing from scratch.

I consider myself a decent cook but from time to time I stump myself when I run across a recipe. I never thought about even looking for dressing recipes. I guess we get so caught up in every day life we rely a lot on the market to supply our needs. Now, I am on the hunt for other dressing recipes.

I haven't tried this recipe as written, but I've made this for many years, omitting the garlic salt and salt. I called this Thousand Island Dressing. When my son was little, he was always jealous of his older sister being able to eat a McDonald's Big Mac, so I made him a "Little Mac". I would order him a cheeseburger, take it home and add this dressing to his before serving it to him. He never caught on that I had embellished his burger! He's now 41 yrs. old. I love this site!

This is a good base, but I like to add a dab of sour cream, splash of lemon juice and chopped olives.

Love this dressing as Flo made it. My mother made Blue Cheese dressing this way, but omit the relish. She also used Miracle Whip instead of mayo and crumbled blue cheese to your liking. If it is too thick, you can thin it with milk.

Yummmm, another keeper! Tasty, inexpensive, easy to make, and 'no preservatives'! Also recommend all your other 'delicious dressings' ............ "Honey Mustard," and "Country Buttermilk Dressings." Loved them all! So many choices and everyones enjoyed them! Thanks again for carrying on this wonderful site of "Mr. Food"!!! He is missed, but his replacement on the video's is a very pleasant person himself. Thanks to all the "Mr. Food's team." Doing great job!!! Sincerely, 'little ole' Ohio cook,' Sherry

This is a great basic salad dressing recipe! The only changes I make are to grate a little bit of onion, add 1/4 tsp ground mustard and I use chili sauce instead of ketchup. I've also used cocktail sauce in a pinch! So good!! Great on hamburgers, too!
