Directions
Make sure you have at least one ingredient from each section to create your dressing. Use the following equation and table to create your own salad dressing: Sour + Salty + Sweet + Fat = Salad Dressing
Start by adding the sour ingredients to the dressing container.
Then, slowly (1/4 teaspoon at a time) add salty ingredient(s) until it tastes more than just sour.
Next add sweet ingredients in small quantities until the salad dressing flavor is toned down and less intense.
Last, add the fat until your dressing is thicker, helping it to stick to the salad greens.
Taste it one last time and adjust the seasonings if necessary.
Store in refrigerator for up to 1 week.
