MARTHA STEWART'S RUSSIAN DRESSING

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together. Store, covered in refrigerator for up to a week.

RUSSIAN DRESSING

Steps:

• Combine the cornichons, yolk, miso, mustard, vinegar, and 1 tablespoon water in a food processor. Pulse until the cornichons are just chopped. With the machine running, add the oils in a steady stream until the mixture is emulsified. Transfer to a large bowl. Stir in the ketchup and sriracha until fully incorporated. The dressing can be covered and refrigerated for up to 3 days.

THE RACHEL SANDWICH

Steps:

• Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat. Layer turkey slices on griddle and let cook for 1 minute.
• Butter one side of 1 slice of bread and spread opposite side with Russian dressing; place buttered-side down on griddle. Butter one side of remaining slice of bread and place buttered-side down on griddle; top with cheese. Turn turkey and top with coleslaw. Cook until turkey and bread are warmed through and cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Sandwich turkey and coleslaw between bread. Slice and serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, mustard, salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar.

MARTHA STEWART'S ADD-ON VINAIGRETTE DRESSING

For Lemon Parmesan: Use fresh lemon juice instead of vinegar; add 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan. For Scallion: Add 3 chopped whole scallions (about 1/4 cup). For Herb: Add 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs, such as thyme, parsley, or tarragon. For Blue Cheese: Add 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese, such as Roquefort.

REUBEN

Steps:

• Place one slice of bread on work surface and top with the corned beef, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese. On the other piece of bread, spread one side with Russian dressing or spicy brown mustard. Place dressing-side down on top of Swiss cheese to form a sandwich.
• Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 tablespoon butter to the pan and place the sandwich on top of the melted butter. Cook until golden, pressing down with a spatula, about 2 minutes. Lift the sandwich from the skillet and add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter. Toast the other side of sandwich until golden and the cheese has melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve with pickles.
