salad cream

British mayonnaise alternative

Salad cream is a creamy, tangy condiment used primarily in British cooking, similar to mayonnaise but thinner and more acidic.

It's a common dressing for salads, sandwiches, and cold dishes: a ham sandwich with salad cream.

The flavor is sharper and sweeter than mayonnaise, with a distinctive yellow color.
