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.
