  1. 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 [censored], 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.

    5 seconds with Google turns up a bunch of recipes.

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

    lemonjuice to ordinary mayonaise.

    All decent mayo is made with lemon juice. Vinegar does not belong in
    mayo, nor does sugar, nor do egg whites, nor does corn starch, and for
    what it's worth, nor does soybean oil. Reasonable tasting oils are
    not that pricey.

    Any fisherpersons in your circle of acquaintances? If so, how do they
    pronounce this fish:

    crappie

    Do they turn it into "croppie", to avoid the bad word that will bring sin
    and destruction upon their houses?
