Russian dressing is a savory, creamy condiment that originated in the United States in the early 20th century. Despite its name, it does not have Russian origins but was likely named to evoke an exotic flair. The dressing traditionally combines mayonnaise and ketchup or another tomato-based ingredient, creating its signature pink hue and smooth consistency.
