About Salad cream

Salad cream is a British-style creamy condiment used with salads and cold foods. It is commonly made from an emulsified mixture including vinegar, oil, and egg, with sweetening and seasonings; recipes and commercial formulations vary.

It is usually pale yellow and smooth, with a pourable or spoonable consistency. Its flavour is tangy, mildly sweet, and savoury. It is sold ready-made, and homemade versions can vary in thickness and ingredient proportions.
