- Prepare the Russian dressing by combining its ingredients in a small bowl.
- Open the foil and discard the juices from the cooked corned beef.

- Butter the marble rye slices and toast them in a skillet until golden brown.

Notes
For extra flavor, let the dressed coleslaw sit in the fridge for about 30 minutes before serving.
Use a good quality Swiss cheese for the best melty texture.
Adjust the amount of coleslaw based on personal preference.
