About this food

About Salad dressing: Sodium varies hugely across condiments and oils - soy sauce and sauces are sodium-dense while most plant oils are nearly sodium-free. Swapping salty sauces for oils is a practical sodium trick. As a Condiments & Oils item, its role in a kidney diet depends mainly on mineral content.

Nutrient insight

Salad dressing's sodium is the top contributor (43% of its limit). Sodium drives blood pressure and swelling, and most CKD patients limit it - watch hidden sodium in sauces and cured products.
