Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier dip, consider using full-fat mayonnaise instead of Miracle Whip. If you want to adjust the spice level, you can reduce the curry powder or add a pinch of cayenne pepper for heat. Using fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley can enhance the flavor, too. Make sure to taste and adjust the seasonings according to your preference.
