About this food

Salad dressing (Condiments & Oils). 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. This is the same lens used for similar items.

Nutrient insight

Salad dressing's sodium (50%) is the main risk item. Cooking plainly with less sauce can cut the per-serving sodium meaningfully.
