I feel like he might be referring to Miracle Whip as it is (or at least was when I was paying attention in the 80s/90s) sold as "salad dressing". No clue why they called it that but it was a cheap alternative to mayonnaise that had a tangy zip.
Now I have real mayonnaise made with eggs in my house (my mom was always weirded out by non-refrigerated egg products).
They called it salad dressing because it is salad dressing. It goes in potato salad, macaroni salad, coleslaw, etc. It's just that most people use it as a sandwich spread today.
That makes sense! I always forget about those types of salads lol. Thanks!
