    • Easy vegan Russian dressing

    I originally created this salad to top my Russian spin on a vegan wedge salad. But honestly, y'all, I encourage you to put it on all of the salads! It all makes a great sandwich spread.

    Recipe notes

    This is a 5-minute, one bowl vegan salad dressing. It truly couldn't be easier! Just put all of the ingredients into a medium bowl, and whisk it together until you have an even mixture.

    The only thing to make sure of is that you choose the right type of horseradish and Worcestershire sauce. Read the next sections for details on that.

    Choosing your horseradish

    Horseradish gives your vegan Russian dressing a nice kick, and it's important that you use the right kind: prepared horseradish, which comes in a jar. At most grocery stores, it will be in the section with the pickles and other preserved vegetables.

    Prepared horseradish comes in a jar, and there are white and purple varieties available. Either one will work in this recipe.

    Purple horseradish just contains beets and beet juice, so it's slightly sweeter than the white kind. That bit of extra sweetness won't hurt your results at all.

    When you're shopping for horseradish, make sure you don't get horseradish sauce or one prepared with cream or other dairy ingredients.

    Ideally, you'll be able to find a jar with just horseradish, vinegar, and salt. Other additives are fine, as long as they don't add flavor. Some jarred horseradishes contain preservatives, which won't impact the flavor of your dressing.

    Finding vegan Worcestershire sauce

    Conventional Worcestershire sauces contain anchovies, but a lot of store brands are vegan. Anchovies are a pricier ingredient, so cheaper brands will leave them out to keep their price low.

    Just check ingredients to find one that's anchovy-free.

    How to store it

    Store your vegan Russian dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep for about a week.

    Notes

    The prepared horseradish you are looking for comes in a jar, often in the section of the store where they stock pickles. The jar should ideally contain just horseradish, vinegar, and salt. Beet horseradish is okay, but make sure you don't get horseradish sauce or a variety that contains dairy, as it will not give you the right results.
    Conventional Worcestershire sauces contain anchovies, but a lot of store brands are vegan, because anchovies are a pricier ingredient. Just check ingredients to find one that's anchovy-free.
