* You do not have to use both mayonnaise and Miracle Whip. Although it's not necessary to use both if you do not have both on hand, Miracle Whip offers a more sweet, spicy flavor that some people prefer over mayonnaise. 

* What is the difference between mayonnaise and Miracle Whip? - To be called a mayonnaise, it must contain 65% vegetable oil by weight. Although Kraft keeps the oil content in Miracle Whip a secret, they confirmed that the oil content is too low to meet the mayo standard, per www.realsimple.com.
