Homemade salad dressings are always far more superior in taste and quality to the store-bought bottled ones you’ll find at the supermarket. Case in point, the Russian dressing for this chopped salad. Made with the signature ingredients like buttermilk, ketchup, hot sauce and chopped sweet pickles this rendition is a not only a dream for chopped veggies but works well as spread for sandwiches too. So, if you’re a fan of the dressing, double or triple it so you can enjoy it later in the week. Looking for a way to turn this salad into a satisfying lunch or light supper dish? Try adding diced cooked chicken or turkey.
