    Mayo, 4 ingredients. Miracle Whip ... no idea, but I'm sure we have something similar here. One tablespoon goes pretty far in egg salad, I'll take the extra calories.

    @EbonyDahlia Woolies and Coles has miracle whip, it's always way down on the bottom shelf. I've never tried it because I always assumed it was fake mayo and I've never read the label, but am curious after reading this thread...

    The best tasting mayo I've found here is Hellmans

    I prefer MW. But switched to Mayo because of the lower carbs. I usually add a little bit of mustard to give it some zing.

    Editing to add: You can also put in a little bit of pickle juice to add some zing.

    I'll have to try the pickle juice idea one day. I wish I liked mayo for the real food factor but my taste buds are all over the mw!

    Ingredients in MW:

    Current primary ingredients are water, soybean oil, vinegar, high fructose corn syrup, sugar, modified corn starch, and dried eggs. The HFCS and corn starch are made from non genetically modified maize.[7] Ingredients making up less than 2% of product include salt, mustard flour, paprika, spice, natural flavor, potassium sorbate, enzyme modified egg yolk, and dried garlic.

    Duke's.......drooooooool.
    My favorite in the world. NOM! DH got me the massive bulk size of Duke's for Christmas. It's long gone of course, but ahhhhhh. I have to keep myself from just eating a spoonful.

    I eat a lot of mayo everyday since it's an easy source of fat and goes great with bacon. I'm not a calorie counter, but a macro watcher, so the 200 calories doesn't scare me.

    One day I WILL make my own mayo. Duke's is still ok with me though. I don't eat that much mayo even though I love it. But I can't eat salad dressings anymore like Ranch. I can taste the frankenfoodiness in it! NASTY! So I'm making my own next time. My kids love the store Ranch. Blurgh. :confounded:

    I use Duke's, and I've used the Hidden Valley packets to make dip with sour cream, but I have NEVER liked ranch dressing for a salad. NEVER. Might eventually try it though.

    As far as mayo, it used to make me sicker than a dog. No idea why. I grew up with Miracle Whip my whole life. When I first switched to Mayo, I used to add a teensy bit of sweetener to it to get the same flavor (I think the paprika with the sweetener is the ZING.

    I then ran across a recipe for Sriracha mayo. Dabbled in the mix of mayo and mustard....occasionally doing the add of the tiniest bit of ketchup to 4-10X the amount of mayo, and I've loved that on occasion. Pickle juice works too... I think taste buds evolve.

    My favorite "make your own" mayo recipe is this one: http://thehealthyfoodie.com/fail-proof-home-made-paleo-mayo-whole30-compliant/

    SUPER easy. I don't even have a stick blender (but most of y'all BPC fans likely do...LOL... I just use the whisk attachment on my hand mixer. I had one batch that flopped - and the recipe has instructions to make your own ranch out of it... and one fabulously luxurious batch that worked. Will be making my own again soon!

    I sometimes have whole milk in my coffee instead of heavy cream, and it doesn't seem to knock me out of ketosis, in spite of containing some lactose. The choice is yours. You can try it and see what works best for you. (I am personally a huge fan of homemade mayo).
