Every dressing and dip broken down by realistic serving, with creamy and vinaigrette styles compared.
Dressings and dips are where a light meal becomes a heavy one. A salad dressed with a creamy dressing can carry more calories from the dressing than from everything else on the plate.
Mayonnaise and yoghurt-based dressings carry substantial fat. Vinaigrettes carry less fat but frequently more salt and sugar.
Reduced-fat versions replace fat with water and thickeners, and the calorie difference is genuine.
Dips are eaten alongside crisps or bread, so the combined figure matters more than either alone.
Hummus and yoghurt-based dips supply protein alongside the fat. Cheese and sour cream dips supply saturated fat with less to offset it.
Each product page includes a full nutrition breakdown per serving and per pack, portion size comparisons, age-adjusted NHS daily reference intake calculations for children aged 4 to 17, an interactive calculator for your child's specific age and gender, and a complete ingredient and allergen guide.
