This DIY salad dressing dry mix makes a very refreshing salad dressing.
You might be worried about how strong the concentrated green onion and celery powders are in this, but they’re actually very mild. In fact, after you’ve made it a few times, you may want to crank the amounts of those used up a bit.
This recipe uses:

If I want to crank up the amounts of green onion and celery powder, by how much would you recommend?
Healthy Canning
Everyone’s taste is so different, it’s hard to give a hard and fast suggestion, but start with small incremental increases for sure until you reach the right amounts for your audience. Maybe first time out try an extra 1/2 tablespoon of green onion powder and an extra 1/2 teaspoon of celery powder?
