Can miracle whip dips be frozen?

I would think not. Freezing would break the emulsion of the dressing.

How long after the expiration date can miracle whip be used?

The "expiration date" is what they call the "best if purchased by" date, but it is recommended by their website that you consume it by that date, or soon after.

It also said that in the case of their pourable dressings, that you should consume no more than 30 days after that date.

How do you turn mayonnaise into Miracle Whip?

In order to make mayo, you only need three ingredients: Egg yoke, vinegar, and cooking oil. That is it! Anything else that you add just gives it more flavor. My personal favorite and simple recipe and instructions can be found in the link below.


Mayonnaise is a fairly simple thing on paper, but actually making it takes a little bit of 'touch'. I'll post a link below that has instructions and a video demonstration. It is very helpful. Also, if you add some fresh diced jalapenos and some pureed salmon after its almost become all the way mayonnaise, you'll have a fabulous spread!

Happy Cooking! :)

What is the difference between mayonnaise and Miracle Whip?

Miracle Whip refers to itself as "salad dressing", and it makes a very fine one indeed. It has more sugar, vinegar and spices in it than mayonnaise does, and less egg yolk content per volume as well. Kraft Foods, the maker of Miracle Whip, makes a mayonnaise as well. Try tossing a chilled green salad with just a dollop or two of MW (just enough to lightly coat the ingredients) for a simple and delicious salad.

If you're working with a recipe for, say, potato salad, and it calls for mayonnaise, I would use mayonnaise since the recipe would probably also call for its own flavoring (sugar, mustard, vinegar etc.) to combine with it. Miracle Whip is already seasoned for a sweet, somewhat tangy flavor.

For a better idea of the taste difference, spread regular mayonnaise on a slice of bread and Miracle Whip on another. Your taste buds will tell they are similar, but the tastes are very different. I always have both in my kitchen.

Has Miracle Whip fat free been discontinued?

While most grocery stores carry Miracle Whip Lite, they do not necessarily carry the Fat Free.

Miracle Whip Lite has a light blue screw top.

Fat Free has a red screw top.

The 'typical' Miracle Whip jar is 30 oz.

Fat Free is most commonly found in 15 oz jars.

I have found that you are more likely to find Fat Free in Wal-Mart groceries

than local or other chain groceries.

WalMart.com has a store finder that can give you an idea if they are likely to have it in stock.

On 12/22/11 my local Wal-Mart was selling them for 2.78 each for a 15 oz jar.

Bacteria can breed in Mayonnaise that has been opened but not refrigerated, or not returned immediately to the refrigerator. Ingesting bacteria can cause food poisoning, so yes, Mayonnaise (ALL brands) can cause food poisoning if not stored properly.

Miracle Whip is a highly processed food and is still good months and possibly years after the expiration date. It definitely can be safely consumed months after the expiration date.

How do you make miracle whip taste like mayonnaise?

Well, darling, if you want Miracle Whip to taste like mayonnaise, you might as well just go buy some mayo!

Just remember, you can't turn a zebra into a unicorn, so don't expect miracles here!
