Serving Suggestions
Marie’s Russian Dressing is perfect for drizzling over a fresh garden salad or using as a zesty dip for crudités.

Storage & Reheating

What can I use instead of chili sauce?
If you don't have chili sauce on hand, you can substitute it with a mix of ketchup and hot sauce to taste. This will provide a similar sweetness and spice. Alternatively, use sriracha or another hot sauce for a spicier kick.
Is this dressing suitable for vegetarians?
