Homemade Salad Dressing - How to enter in the recipe database

KittyHeaven74

I have an Asian dressing that I make from scratch for salads, stir fry, etc. I've entered recipes into the database before, but how does one enter salad dressing? The recipe creator asks for the number of people it serves, but this is salad dressing - not a meal. Any ideas?

pick what you want the serving size to be (1 tbsp, 1 oz, 1 ml, 1 cup etc) and just remember what you pick. Measure out that the recipe in that measurement and create the recipe using that amount of servings.

You can also weigh out how much it makes in grams and use that as the number of servings. And then when you put it on your salad, weigh how much you used and that's your "number of servings"

This is what I do for everything I add to my recipes. It's easier than remembering what a serving was and you also don't need to do the math if you don't use a whole serving.
