MUM'S MIRACLE WHIP DRESSING
Mum made this for her potato salad and cabbage salad. I still use it and make it for simple lettuce and tomato salads and macaroni salad. Typically, Calorie-Wise Miracle Whip gives me a dressing less in fat than most low cal store bought dressings. For my salad, I use 1/4 - 1/2 tsp sugar and no mustard. I tend to like a sweet...

Steps:
- 1. You can use whatever measurements you need for what you are making. It's a process that doesn't really follow a recipe, it's just one of those things you know how to do automatically :)
- 2. For a single lettuce and tomato salad: 1 tbsp Miracle Whip mixed with milk until it is a salad dressing consistency. Start with a teaspoon of milk and add as you like. mix in 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon sugar.
- 3. For a potato salad using 6 potatoes: 1/2 cup Miracle Whip mixed with milk and 1 teaspoon mustard and 1 or 2 teaspoons sugar.
MIRACLE WHIP FROM MAYONNAISE
I usually use mayonnaise but I have a few recipes that require the extra kick of Miracle Whip. Since I always have mayonnaise on hand, this recipe allows me to make only the required amount of Miracle Whip. I started with the Miracle Whip recipe from Top Secret Recipes. Miracle Whip is more tart than Mayonnaise but adding a vinegar mixture makes the resulting dressing too thin. This recipe solves that problem. I used Hellman's Mayonnaise and I have also made the diet version with Hellman's 1/2 Fat Mayonnaise.(Serving size: 1 tbsp)

Steps:
- Measure vinegar into small non-reactive saucepan. (e.g. Stainless steel or teflon coated).
- Add cornstarch and let soften for a minute or so. Stir with non-metal spoon or whisk to remove any lumps.
- Add sugar, paprika, garlic and mustard powders.
- Heat on medium high, stirring constantly, until mixture reaches a full rolling boil.
- Remove from heat, stirring well. The mixture will be the consistency of thin pudding. It will thicken as it cools.
- Add to mayonnaise and stir well to combine. Chill for use in a cold salad or use as is in a recipe.
- NOTE: To make smaller amounts of Miracle Whip, mix at the ratio 1/2 tsp of additive to 1 tbsp of mayonnaise. Store unused portion of additive tightly covered in the fridge.
- If storing additive, discard any film that develops on top as this will never mix properly into the mayonnaise.
- Replace sugar with Splenda and/or use Lite Mayonnaise for a diet or diabetic version.
