Directions
Prepare Russian dressing: Whisk mayonnaise and ketchup in a small bowl
until smooth. Stir in capers and pickle (or relish).

To prepare sandwiches: Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add
onion and mushrooms; cook, stirring often, until the onion is softened, 4 minutes. Add spinach and
cook, stirring, until it has wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a plate.

Coat the pan with the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and return to medium heat. Add the bread; divide
cheese equally among the slices. Divide sauerkraut between 2 slices and divide the spinach mixture
between the other 2 slices; cook until the cheese has melted and the bread is golden brown, 4 to 6
minutes. Transfer sandwich halves to a cutting board. Divide the dressing between the spinach
halves. Carefully place the sauerkraut halves on top. Cut sandwiches in half and serve.
