For the Heck of It

Seeing as I wind up with a free egg white whenever I make my favorite mayonnaise, and seeing as the spouse prefers Miracle Whip anyway, I started experimenting with trying to approximate that tangy spread at home as well.

I followed my gut on the flavor profile and have landed on something that I think works.

Mayo on the right, Miracle Whip-inspired spread on the left

I took my basic mayo recipe, and made the following changes:

• Egg white instead of yolk
• Sugar (~1 tsp)
• Way less Dijon (<1/4 tsp)
• White vinegar instead of the lemon juice and cider vinegar

So that nets out to:

• 1 egg white
• 1/8 tsp mustard
• 3/4 cup Canola (or other low fat, neutrally-flavored oil)
• 2 1/2 tsp white vinegar
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tsp sugar
