What is Salad Cream? Never seen it in our markets in USA.
admin says
Hi James, Salad cream is a creamy, pale yellow condiment including oil, egg yolk and vinegar made by Heinz. It sometimes includes other ingredients such as sugar, mustard, salt, thickener, spices, flavouring and colouring. The US equivalent of salad cream is Miracle Whip. Hope this helps. 🙂
