Not quite.
Both mayonnaise and salad dressing (i.e., Miracle Whip) have a standard-of-identity
To be called mayonnnaise, the product must have no less than 65% vegetable oil by weight, while salad dressing must have no less than 30% vegetable oil by weight. Starch makes up the weight difference in salad dressing.
Both also must contain vinegar (min 2 1/2% by weight for mayo) and egg yolk solids (min. 4% by weight for salad dressing).
Product preference varies widely from market-to-market -- dependent upon whether Mr. Kraft's or Mr. Hellman's horse drawn wagons were the first to establish distribution in the area.
If you want to get technical about it.
But in the end both are white creamy spreads. One is sweet and the other isn’t.

Ahhhh, the good ole federal government...
Here to help us understand mayonnaise.
The only problem with this, is I cant find mayonnaise in my copy of the constitution; on it, maybe.. but not in it.
Federal government, here to help us understand what is mayonnaise, and what isn’t. Whether allowed legally by the constitution or not, it all about the children.
Federal government says you cannot call Miracle Whip mayonnaise, it is “for the children.”
