This vegan Russian Dressing can be made in just 5 minutes for a delicious classic salad dressing filled with sweet and spicy flavors.

With summer salad season fast approaching, let’s get you hooked up with some more vegan salad dressings.

If you’ve been following along, you might remember that we have covered Vegan Ranch and Caesar Salad Dressing recently. Look a little further back, and you’ll find a basic vinaigrette. But, what this blog has been missing for far too long is one of my all-time favorites – Vegan Russian Dressing.

Until today. I decided it was time to fix that situation ASAP.

What is Vegan Russian Dressing

If you are like I was a few years ago, you might be a little confused about the difference between 1000 Island and Russian Dressing. For most of my life, I figured they were interchangeable. But, thanks to Google and my insatiable curiosity, I finally got the lowdown on these two different salad dressings.

While they are pretty similar at their foundation – mayonnaise and ketchup -1000 Island is a sweet creamy dressing, sweetened with pickle relish and onions and lightened with lemon juice. Russian dressing is a spicy creamy dressing, often made with horseradish and chili sauce for a velvety texture with a bit of a bite.

And the only dressing acceptable for certain grilled sandwiches.


Recommended Ingredients & Equipment

This Vegan Russian Dressing is an absolute breeze to throw together. Like, literally, a bowl, some condiments, and a few whisks later and you’ve got yourself a velvety, creamy, tangy and spicy salad dressing that is just like you remember a classic Russian dressing to taste.

Here is everything you need.

Ingredients & Substitutions

  • Vegan Mayonnaise – My favorite brand is Just Mayo. It is shelf-stable and has a similar price point to non-vegan mayonnaise. However, any vegan mayo will do.
  • Ketchup
  • White Onion
  • Prepared Horseradish
  • Hot Sauce – I recommend Sriracha sauce.
  • Vegan Worcestershire Sauce – Not all Worcestershire sauce is vegan. Most varieties use anchovies. Make sure to find one that is specifically marked vegan.
  • Apple Cider Vinegar
  • Salt and Pepper

Recommended Equipment

As you can imagine, you don’t need much for this recipe. A small bowl and a whisk are all you need. (<
