For
example, should you need to cut calories, lower the sugar and oil amounts.
Commercial salad dressings must contain a certain amount of fats as listed above to comply.

Need to cut salt intake? Cut the amount you put in this recipe, as desired.

I think heavily salted foods masks the delicious true flavor of most foods
including cooked vegetables and salad greens.
