Default Mayonnaise

I know how to make mayonnaise, but (except for in egg salad) I like
Miracle Whip better. (It's what I grew up with) Especially the old
Miracle Whip that had soybean oil as the first ingredient instead of the
second. So what do I need to mix into homemade mayo to make homemade
Salad Dressing. Corn starch and water paste, paprika, and sugar?

Thanks,
Bob

First you say you like Miracle Whip (branding yourself as a mutant), and
then you ask about salad dressing, which you had to reason to capitalize.
Are you asking how to make your mayo taste like Miracle Whip, or some other
thing?

Bob, are you from the USan south/southeast? Nothing pejorative
intended; just a question, as I'm curious about the demographics of
Miracle Whip preference.

I thought that was obvious. Yes, I want to make my own Miracle Whip
clone to use on sandwiches and in salads. I've made "boiled salad
dressing" before, but it isn't fatty enough. I'll continue to use real
mayo when I make egg salad or deviled eggs, which are the two legitimate
uses for it.

(You're afraid of dog shit, what does that make you?)

I grew up in East Texas, which is kind of part of the Old South. HTH.

More sugar and more vinegar would be my guess. However, while the cost of
ingredients isn't great, the effort required to reproduce that "tangy zip of
Miracle Whip" isn't worth it.
Just go to the store and buy some, it's not that expensive.

OR
buy Hellman's mayo, add a little vinegar and sugar to taste. It will taste
like Miracle Whip (at least to me it does).

Do as the Belgians ... make your mayonaise with lemon juice, or just add
lemonjuice to ordinary mayonaise.

I bought Hellman's for thirty years. A couple of months ago, Fine
Cooking did a review of jarred mayo from regional to national brands.
They rated Kraft Mayo, not Miracle Whip over all brands including Duke
brand.

I tried the Kraft Mayo and will NEVER buy anything but Kraft mayo
again. It is just like homemade. Smooth and creamy....very nice.

Maybe try adding sugar to your mayo, and maybe some of those colored
sprinkles kids put on ice cream. That should give you a pretty good Miracle
Whip imitation.

If the poor sap wants to make Miracle Whip, let him. Next he'll want to
know how to make Velveeta at home, or how to brew Bud Light. Have some
sympathy.


Or how to replicate Chef Boyardee canned spaghetti and meatballs.

5 seconds with Google turns up a bunch of recipes.


Why are we not surprised?

IIRC, someone actually asked about that not too long ago in this group.
