What’s the Difference between Miracle Whip and Mayonnaise?
3Aug2009 Filed under: Questions Author: Tasha
First, let me start off by saying that for the longest time I had no idea what the differences were between Miracle Whip and Mayonnaise. I never realized until one day I went to th supermarket and ran out of Mayonnaise and accidentally picked up a jar of Miracle Whip. Well, let me say that I definitely learnt quickly how different these two really are.
Miracle Whip IS NOT I repeat IS NOT mayonnaise. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration requires that anything labeled “mayonnaise” contain a minimum of 65 percent vegetable oil by weight. Kraft Miracle Whip made its debut in 1933 at the Chicago World’s Fair, it has been labeled a “dressing” rather than a mayonnaise.
Although Miracle whip contains mayo’s key ingredients, egg, soybean oil, vinegar, water but is different due to its sweet, spicy flavor.
Which one do you prefer Miracle Whip or Mayonnaise?

Love LOVE LOVE Miracle Whip… there is no substitute. Since it’s a dressing not mayo is much lower in fat and calories and actually has some taste to it unlike mayo.. apparenlty because it has some secret spices which i never knew until i saw a recent advert
