Russian Dressing

You can't have a reuben without a proper russian dressing. We've been buying it in the past, but I decided to make my own this year for St. Patrick's day leftovers. I served it with homemade Sauerkraut and instant pot corned beef. Next year, I'll try my hand at homemade rye bread.

Ranch Dressing

I've tried AIP (Auto-Immune Paleo) ranch dressing, but we just can't get into it. It's mostly a coconut and lemon juice derivative which is good, but not with the label "ranch". So, lately, I've just been using this good ole' fashioned ranch recipe. I do substitute fat-free yogurt for buttermilk which helps it with the kick it needs. I also use garlic and onion powder rather than fresh garlic and chopped onion. I don't have my herb window garden established yet, so during the winter months, I use dried herbs. If I didn't keep fresh dressing in the fridge, I don't think the hubby would ever eat salad. ;)



Thousand Island

Today is St. Patty's day and the hubby wanted a reuben. We went to the grocery store deli and had them slice some corned beef and (per the hubby's request) white cheddar cheese. [The hubby's not a fan of swiss--crazy huh? lol] I had sauerkraut from our garden cabbage earlier in the year and I decided to make the thousand island dressing from scratch. Below is the recipe that I spread onto the marble rye bread. I used our handy-dandy panini maker and served it with baked onion rings (see next blog). This one is definitely a keeper. [I used pickles canned from earlier in the year from our garden.]
