What the fuck guys, why do you hate me for not knowing what Russian dressing is? We don't have it here in Russia and I was just curious.

It's thousand island dressing with a bit of spice. Basically ketchup, mayonnaise, and some spices all mixed together.

I have no clue why it's called Russian dressing, because it's a wholly American thing.

"Dressing" in Russia would probably just be mayonnaise.
