What are you doing for Russian dressing?

Mayo wigs me out, so I ended up going without.  It was a bit dry, maybe
I should have bought some kind of thousand island.  What do you use?

 
I don't usually make them at home.  I might whip up a quick fake
using mayo, ketchup, pickle, minced onion, horseradish, and
Tabasco.
 
Even though mayo wigs you out, Russian dressing is just mayo with
other ingredients added.  Even if you buy a bottle at the grocery
store, it's basically mayo.

I tried to make mayonnaise myself once, but even with a stand mixer, I
couldn't get the right consistency.  I'm not sure where I messed up.

Did you have a balloon whisk attachment?

You have to put the oil in really, really slowly.  This video shows
someone makit it by hand, but look how he just dribbles in the oil:

Either way, the texture and ingredients of store bought stuff is just
gross. 

Homemade mayo is not a lot different in texture.  Thicker, perhaps.
