  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • ½¾ teaspoon fine salt

Notes

* Start by adding 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, whisk and then add a little more, if needed, to achieve the dressing consistency you prefer. Some mayos are thicker than others and may require up to 3 tablespoons of vinegar added.
