Now that I think about it, the texture was how do I say the knife went through it much more smoothly but also easily. With regular mayo you can hear the mayo pulling apart and rolling onto the knife whereas I didn't hear it all with this stuff. I guess it felt very thin and extra smooth.

Technically, mayonnaise has a legal definition - mayo is implied to have a legal definition but it isn't literally spelled out in the FDA regulations.

Of course, they could just add "dressing" under the label in small text and that would be sufficient to avoid any FDA shenanigans.
