Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix 2 tablespoons of Miracle Whip with 1 tablespoon of malt vinegar in a bowl.

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using Greek yogurt in place of Miracle Whip. You can also adjust the sweetness by using more or fewer packets of Sweet Mate sugar substitute based on your preference. Experiment with different seasoning blends, such as Italian or garlic, to customize the flavor. This dressing can also work well as a dip for fresh veggies.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this dressing immediately over a fresh green salad, or drizzle it over grilled vegetables for added flavor. It pairs beautifully with Fruity Slush for a refreshing meal. You can also use it as a flavorful topping for sandwiches or wraps. For a heartier dish, consider adding grilled chicken or chickpeas to your salad.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Before using, give it a good stir as separation may occur. This dressing is best served fresh, but if you need to reheat it for a warm salad, do so gently in a microwave for a few seconds while stirring.
