To make Langer’s popular Original 19 Hot Pastrami Sandwich, warm pastrami is layered onto twice-baked rye bread, slathered with Russian dressing, and finished with Swiss cheese and a scoop of their sweet-and-sour coleslaw.

About 2 cups

Ingredients

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup sweet pickle relish
  • 1⁄4 cup ketchup
  • 1 1⁄2 tablespoons buttermilk

Method

In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, relish, ketchup, and buttermilk. The dressing can be made in advance. Leftovers will keep for several days in the refrigerator.
