Equipment

  • Mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup creamy Miracle Whip dressing
  • 1/2 cup natural honey
  • 1/2 cup tomato ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon grape seed oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground celery seed
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried onion powder

Instructions
 

Step 1: Combine the Creaminess

  • Start by taking a mixing bowl. Add 1/2 cup of creamy Miracle Whip to the bowl. This is the base of your dressing. It’s essential for providing that creamy mouthfeel.

Step 2: Sweeten It Up

  • Next, pour in 1/2 cup of honey. Make sure to use natural honey for the best taste. It complements the tartness of the dressing beautifully.

Step 3: Add the Ketchup

  • Now, add 1/2 cup of tomato ketchup. This may seem unconventional, but ketchup is a fantastic way to deepen the flavor and add a touch of acidity.

Step 4: Incorporate the Oils and Vinegars

  • Stir in 1 tablespoon of grape seed oil and 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar. The oil gives your dressing a luxurious texture, while the vinegar adds the necessary tanginess.

Step 5: Spice It Up

  • Now, sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, and the seasoning: 3/4 teaspoon sea salt, 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper, 1/8 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon of ground celery seed, and 1/4 teaspoon of dried onion powder. Stir it all together until combined.

Step 6: Taste!

  • Finally, give your dressing a taste. Adjust the seasoning if necessary. If you like it sweeter, add a touch more honey.

Step 7: Chill

  • Let the dressing chill in the fridge for at least an hour. This resting time allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

Notes

  • Fresh Ingredients: Always use fresh and quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Adjust Sweetness: If you desire a sweeter dressing, add more honey gradually.
  • Dairy Swap: If you want a vegan alternative, use plant-based yogurt instead of Miracle Whip.
  • Mix It Up: Experiment by adding herbs like dill or chives for more complexity.
  • Store Properly: Keep your dressing in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
