Russian Dressing

I hate to waste the pickling liquid in a bottle of dill pickles. It is loaded with flavor that can be used to make this creamy Russian dressing.

Makes about 1 pint of dressing.

Ingredients:

• 1/4 c dill pickle packing liquid
• 1/2 c ketchup
• 1/4 c olive oil
• 1/4 c mayonnaise
• 2 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp mustard powder
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper

Directions:

1. In a pint jar, blend all ingredients together until smooth.
2. Serve over green salads or use as a dip for vegetable sticks. Refrigerate and use within 2 weeks.
