English translation:vegetable oils (for dressings)
Explanation:
I'd be tempted to translate it simply as "vegetable oils", but more context is required in order to understand whether further specification is necessary. I think you should be all right with oils rather than fats, because solid fats are unlikely to be used for dressing food. There's no point in bothering about putting "origin" in there - you'd simply say "vegetable fats/oils" - and you dress, rather than season, food with oil.

You really don't need to translate "condimento" into English. You may want to say "vegetable-based fats and oils", as oils are usually referred to in addition to fats.

salad dressings of vegetable origin


Explanation:
Or: vegetable oils for use as salad dressings

We really need more context to answer this with confidence.

I'm posting this answer to point out that a possible translation of "condire con olio" can be "to dress [a salad] with oil".

neutral  Sarah Ponting: salad dressings don't necessarily have to be fats - what about vinegar? And condimenti aren't just for salads...

  -> True. That's why I gave this answer a "2" - but I'm glad to see that we're thinking along similar lines.
neutral  Catherine Bolton: Ditto on Sarah's comment. Salad dressing sounds like the stuff you buy readymade in a bottle.

Il problema è che la parola \"condimento\" in it. e ingl. non corrisponde. Condimento è tutto ciò che viene utilizzato per preparare i cibi, ovvero che serve sia per cucinare, che per condire l\'insalata. L\'inglese in vece è più specifico: si va dal cooking al salad dressing (per cottura o per condire l\'insalata) Inoltre la parola \"grasso\" è un termine che si riferisce sia all\'olio che alla margarina, sia a liquido che a solido. La traduzione dipende strettamente dal contesto: si può omettere la parola \"condimento\" o no? In caso ti serva una trad generica, hai ben due opzioni tra cui scegliere (quella di JL e quella di Smash) altrimenti prova a fornire più contesto.

neutral  Sarah Ponting: "condimento", not "cottura" - and "dressing and cooking vegetable fats" is certainly not standard English :-(
12 hrs
  -> in Italia "condimento" si intende qualsiasi complemento usato per la preparazione (anche cooking) dei cibi. L'uso del teremine cooking o meno dipende dal resto del testo.
neutral  Catherine Bolton: The asker cites olive oil as an example: fats you pour, not the ones you can cut with a knife!
