It also has carbohydrates (16 g) with 14 g sugar coming mostly from fruit and yacon, so it\u2019s best to keep portions reasonable. The dressing adds fat (11.8 g) and saturated fat (2.4 g), and there\u2019s sodium (216 mg)\u2014so choosing lighter dressing or using less can help keep your daily intake in check. Cholesterol is low to moderate at 1 mg per 100 g.","healthier_tips":["For your daily pattern (3 meals + 1\u20132 snacks), treat this as a side salad or a snack, not a full replacement for your main meal.","Use yogurt-based dressing or mix mayo with yogurt to lower saturated fat.","Keep the creamy dressing to about 2\u20133 tablespoons per serving, then add more crunch with greens, cucumber, or lettuce.","Pair it with a protein for better balance (e.g., grilled chicken, tuna, boiled egg, or tofu) so you stay satisfied.","If you\u2019re watching sodium, choose less salty add-ins and avoid extra processed toppings."]},"data_quality":{"source":"DOST-FNRI Philippine Food Composition Tables","source_code":"ph_fct","daily_values_reference":"RENI 2002","notes":["Values are estimates per 100g edible portion.","Actual nutrients may vary by preparation and variety."]},"links":{"self":"https:\/\/api.juanutrisyon.info\/api\/foods\/waldorf-salad-prep-w-yacon?agent=true"}}}
