What each ingredient does

Mayonnaise
Provides the base body, richness and tang of the dressing.
Whipped cream
Adds air and lightness, making the dressing softer and creamier.

The step that matters

Fold the whipped cream into the mayonnaise. Folding gently keeps the air trapped in the whipped cream. Stirring vigorously would deflate it and leave the dressing dense rather than light.
