Salad Cream

Salad cream (/ˈsæləd kriːm/) is a creamy, pale yellow condiment used in the United Kingdom. It is often used as a dressing for salads and other cold dishes.

Etymology

The term "salad cream" was first used in the United Kingdom in the early 20th century. It is derived from the words "salad", which comes from the Latin "salata" (meaning "salted"), and "cream", which comes from the Old English "crēam" (meaning "ointment").

Ingredients

Salad cream is traditionally made from a mixture of vinegar, mustard, egg yolk, and oil. Some variations may also include sugar, salt, and other seasonings.

Salad cream is commonly used as a dressing for salads, but it can also be used as a condiment for sandwiches, cold meats, and other dishes. It is similar to mayonnaise, but has a thinner consistency and a more tangy flavor.
