Dressing, oil and lemon, homemade

Homemade oil and lemon dressing is a mixture of oil and lemon used to dress foods. The figures describe a recipe preparation, which mainly provides fat and energy. Per 100g, it contains 2683 kJ of energy, 72g of fat, including 4.8g of saturated fat, and 3.4g of carbohydrate.

Fat provides energy and helps the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins. The high fat content makes this dressing concentrated in energy, so the amount used affects its contribution to energy and saturated fat intake. The supplied recipe contains only trace amounts of salt, although this may vary if salt is added during preparation. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
