Can you use ranch dressing if you don’t have ranch mix? Thanks!
Unfortunately not. The liquid in the dressing would give you a gooey mess.
I do not care for the taste of mayo. Can I substitute miracle whip for the mayo. When is it not good to substitute? Thanks….
Sure you can, Judy! Miracle Whip has a sweeter taste than mayo and to keep the overall flavor right, I’d just use only about 1/4 cup of Miracle Whip.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I’ve always been afraid to substitute.
This is the best cheeseball ever.
