My curiosity has been piqued. I'll buy some salad cream next time I shop for groceries.

Basically, it's Mircale Whip with water in it. No. No. No. It's not anything like that. |

Heinz Salad CreamI never tasted it before, but it sounds like it would make for a good condiment. There's a good choice of recipes on that site using salad cream too recipes |

My mother used to make her salad dressing out of mayonnaise. I have no idea what she put in it, but I'll bet it's similar. I'm going to have to look for salad cream when I go shopping tomorrow.

I had lots of salad cream growing up. It's not AT ALL like Miracle Whip!! It's not sweet in any way. It's a bit tart, but I think of it as more vinegar-y.
We didn't use it much in salads except Coleslaw. Yummy. My mum always made our sandwiches with it. Cheese and tomato on buttered bread with salad cream. Lovely. Or just to dip our veggies in as a snack. It's quite versatile.

Never heard of Salad Cream. I will look for it next time I am at the store. I'm wondering what the calorie count is. If it is close to mayonnaise.

Based on that ingredients list, it sounds like mayonnaise (oil, egg yolk, vinegar) with mustard and sugar in it. Otherwise known as potato salad dressing.

for Americans looking for it - check Publix or Wegmans in the British food section (ethnic aisle)

I wasn't going to open this thread but I couldn't resist finding out what salad cream was.
I don't think it's something I'm going to try. Learned something new though!

It tastes different to mayo though and doesn't have the same consistency. There's far more oil ( canola) and white vinegar in Salad Cream than in Mayo. |

The fish and chips place up the street has a few shelves of British groceries. I'll have to stop by and see if they have it. It might be perfect for cole slaw.

Basically, it's Mircale Whip with water in it. It is not!!!!  Do not mess with gar and her salad cream! I've never had it but even I know it's special to our UK friends That reminds me to ask my British friend/co-worker if she has some She treated me to bangers and mash so maybe she will treat me again  |

Tried it. It has more of a tart taste than sweet and I did not think that it tasted like Miracle Whip or mayo. DH liked it. We will have it again. I think that it would be good mixed with the ketchup and used with shrimp. Might have to try that.

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? I've never heard of salad cream either, but my mom made the same cabbage salad dressing as your mom does...to replicate it requires just the right amount of sugar, vinegar ratio to the miraclewhip or mayo. (Yes we use either one...). She also used the same mix for potato salad. |

We are common as muck at our house. We all prefer Heinz Salad Cream to mayonnaise. Orgasmic on potato salad.

I love it mixed with mature cheddar and Granny Smith apple on whole grain bread - my favourite sandwich.
I hate mayonnaise from a jar (I love 'real' mayonnaise though) as it's far too gloopy, so we use salad cream a lot.

This is one of the few things I bring back to Spain from the UK! I use it on all salad most days.....I buy the low fat type.
Its thinner and tastier than Mayo and I use it differently to mayo.
