Mayonnaise Natural starts with 3 basic ingredients: eggs, oil, and vinegar Has a mellow creamy flavor Made with 80% oil Makes a good substitute for butter Miracle Whip® Considered salad dressing Has a sweet tangy flavor Contains added sugar & spices Contains less oil Similar in appearance, but different in flavor. Why shouldn't I substitute Mayonnaise with Miracle Whip® in Country Home Creations Dip Mixes? At Country Home Creations we love Miracle Whip® and it is used in some of our recipes, but it should not be used as a substitute for Mayonnaise. Miracle Whip® already contains added sugar and spices and these ingredients compete with the flavors in some of our mixes not giving you their true flavor.
