Someone, on here, mentioned making a salad using salad cream. I had never heard of salad cream before. Today I found Salad Cream. Anyone have a recipe for a salad that they really like, using the salad cream? I did a search and did not find the post that I had seen previously. Thanks in advance.

I don't make anything with it...I just eat it as it is, with the exception of mixing it with some ketchup to go on prawns/shrimp. Just either drizzle it over a green salad or dip into it

Basically, it's Mircale Whip with water in it.

I know Heinz makes one. Personally I don't care for it, but I think it's maybe more popular in the UK?
It's quite sweet - not like candy sweet, but too much for me.

I've never had salad cream, but my son used to call salad dressing "salad syrup" because you poured it like syrup. Yeah, totally not relevant to your question, but funny!

I haven't heard of salad cream. And, with the reference to Miracle Whip, I think I will pass.

I don't find it sweet, more tart tasting, kind of vinegary but not overly so. I used to love it mixed with hard boiled eggs in white bread sandwiches.

I've never had it but it sounds similar to the dressing that my Mom used to make for cabbage salad... Mayo, sugar, and a small amount of vinegar. Does that sound anything like it?

Huh, never heard of it. I found this:
Salad cream Add "Salad cream" to FavouritesAdd to Favourites Home-made salad cream is a real treat - creamy, with a little sharpness, perfect with salads or sandwiches. Ingredients 2 free-range eggs, hard-boiled, yolks only 2 tbsp English mustard ½ lemon, juice only 1 tbsp caster sugar 3 tbsp white wine vinegar 150ml/5fl oz double cream 150ml/5fl oz olive oil salt and ground white pepper Preparation method Place all of the ingredients, apart from the oil and seasoning, into a food processor. Blend until the cream starts to thicken then gradually add the oil, until the salad cream is smooth and emulsified. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground white pepper.

Well Wikipedia says it is... It's nothing like miracle whip that's for sure.It doesn't have Fructos corn syrup in it for one thing and it doesn't taste like MW either. It was originally made by Heinz and still is but other manufacturers also make it now. I still think that you can't beat the Heinz one! Anyhow, it's basically similar to Mayonnaise, I've just checked the bottle for ingredients.......Vinegar, Rapeseed oil, cornflour(cornstarch) Mustard and egg yolk and a small amount of sugar. It's more yellow in colour than mayonnaise and more tarty,which I would guess is because of the vinegar.It has no artificial flavours and no added colouring. I find it tasty and not at all sweet.

I do not know why I know this, but I always thought salad cream was some variety of mayonaise. Maybe my British friend told me long ago?

That's a good description. I keep both salad cream and mayonnaise and use them for different things depending on whether I want the tarty or more creamy product for what I want to make as well as just drizzling over a salad. I absolutely agree that the Heinz version of salad cream can't be beaten!

Just either drizzle it over a green salad or dip into it I've never thought of mixing it with ketchup to go on seafood but will be trying that very soon. What a great idea!! I've always done that dressing the mayonnaise type way.

I've always done that dressing the mayonnaise type way. I use it for seafood dressing too. It has more of a tang to it than mayonnaise when mixed with Ketchup.......makes nice Marie Rose sauce :grin:The other thing about Salad Cream is, the original has less fat in it than Mayonnaise according to the listings for both Heinz v Hellmans....never knew that!

The one that I picked up today is by Heinz. My DSGM used to make a simple garden salad that was chopped lettuce, tomato and green onions with mayo, salt and pepper. I am going to make that tonight and use the salad cream instead of the mayo and see how it taste. I was surprised to see it in Krogers today. Perhaps it has been there all along and I noticed it today because of reading about it on here. I could not remember if the post was about a recipe for a salad or just mentioned the salad cream. I will report back on how it compares to just mayo. Thanks everyone for your replies.

It will be interesting to see if your description of Heinz salad cream bought there matches ours - sometimes products are slightly altered to cater for tastes in a particular country. We should really all meet in the middle carrying our respective bottles and have a taste test!! Enjoy your salad tonight and your salad cream.

Heinz Salad CreamI never tasted it before, but it sounds like it would make for a good condiment.
