what is the difference between french russian and thousand island dressing?
Russian dressing is made with a mayonnaise-ketchup base, often livened up with pickle relish, Worcestershire sauce, prepared horseradish, and lemon juice and seasoned with paprika, onion powder, and/or mustard powder. It's spicier and less sweet than Thousand Island, with a more complex, nuanced je ne sais quoi.
