Yes, even the Amish can't resist the tangy zip of Miracle Whip (isn't that how the old slogan went?).
So, a lot of Amish cookbooks will say add a cup or a few tablespoons of "salad dressing" to a recipe. And I used to look at it with a puzzled expression like, what, Russian dressing? French? Thousand Island? But, no, time taught me that such recipe references mean Miracle Whip, either store-bought or homemade.
Here are some of the common Amish recipes where Miracle Whip will find a home:
Amish Macaroni Salad: Yep, this recipe calls for Miracle Whip.
Amish Wedding Salad: Another one for Miracle Whip.
Savory Ham Sandwiches: This is one is in the archives as a Miracle Whip creation!
Tortilla Bowls With Taco Sauce: Yes, this one also!
