Salad cream is a prepared dressing used with salads and other foods. The figures here are based on samples from different brands. It mainly provides fat and carbohydrate: per 100g, it contains 27g of fat and 21g of carbohydrate, including 17g of sugars. It also contains 1.8g of salt.

Fat and carbohydrate provide energy, and the amount of salad cream used affects its contribution to energy, sugar and salt intake. These are relevant considerations for people monitoring their intake. Salad cream also provides vitamin E, which helps protect cells from damage. Values may vary between brands; full nutrient figures for the samples described are in the tables below.
