Russian dressing is a piquant American salad dressing consisting of mayonnaise, ketchup, and other ingredients.
Russian dressing is similar to Thousand Island. Some manufactured versions omit the mayonnaise and are clear rather than creamy, more similar to French or Catalina.[1]
Russian dressing is mentioned as early as 1900 in U.S. sources.[2] It is also documented in a 1910 catering book as an alternative to vinaigrette for dressing tomatoesorasparagus.[3] A 1913 cookbook has a recipe which is a vinaigrette with paprika and mustard.[4] A mayonnaise-based recipe is documented in 1914.[5] The condiment came to be called "Russian" since the original recipe included caviar, a staple of Russian cuisine.[6]
Local historians claim that the mayonnaise-based version was invented in Nashua, New Hampshire, by James E. Colburn in the 1910s.[7] A 1927 biographical article calls him "the originator and first producer of that delectable condiment known as Russian salad dressing".[8] Colburn had been selling "Colburn's Mayonnaise salad dressing" at his store since at least 1910.[9]
To have conferred upon the epicurean tastes of a great body of people a delicacy at once as refined as it is permanent in its popularity is not to have lived in vain; rather it is to have added to the joy of living. ... [Colburn] hit upon an assembly of ingredients, which he named Russian salad dressing, ... [and earned] wealth on which he was enabled to retire. ... As he rests on his laurels, he is conscious of having done his part well in conferring a blessing upon the people who have learned the art of eating well.
— Hobart Pillsbury, New Hampshire Resources ... [8]
Certainly by 1914, Colburn's company was manufacturing it,[10] and distributing it to retailers and hotels. He earned enough from its sale that he retired in 1924.[8]
Typically piquant, it is today characteristically made of a blend of mayonnaise and ketchup complemented with such additional ingredients as horseradish, pimentos, chives, mustard, and spices.[11][12][13]
Besides being used as a salad dressing, Russian dressing is also used as a spread for Reuben sandwiches.
Russian dressing has largely been supplanted by Thousand Island dressing, which is sweeter and less spicy than Russian.[8]
