I'm not sure I've had Russian dressing before, I think I've had it confused with Catalina for many years.
I googled it this morning, saw how close it was to Thousand Island which I made a few years ago, & decided to give it a try....I think the horseradish sold me on the idea.

"Russian dressing and Thousand Island dressing are often confused because both begin with a base of mayonnaise and ketchup or ketchup-style chili sauce, which results in a pink salad dressing. But where Thousand Island is a bit sweet and studded with pickle relish, Russian dressing is on the spicier side, with a hint of heat from horseradish and hot sauce.
Yield: Makes about 1 1/4 cups
ACTIVE TIME 10 minutes
TOTAL TIME10 minutes
INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
1 cup purchased or homemade mayonnaise
1/4 cup ketchup-style chili sauce or ketchup (I used ketchup)
4 teaspoons bottled (regular; not packed in beet juice) horseradish, or to taste
1 teaspoon hot sauce, preferably Frank's Red Hot Sauce (I used Franks original)
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon sweet paprika (I used cayenne, I think I only have smoked paprika but couldn't see it)
Fine sea salt
PREPARATION
In a mortar and pestle, mash the onion to create a paste, or use a large heavy knife to mince and mash the onion into a paste. Transfer the onion paste to a small bowl and whisk in the mayonnaise, chili sauce, horseradish, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and sweet paprika. Season with fine sea salt, if desired. DO AHEAD: The dressing can be prepared ahead and refrigerated, in an airtight container, up to 2 weeks.

While looking around, I searched to see if food wishes had a recipe for Russian dressing (not that I saw), but then I found something else that looked interesting:
