i cant even smother salad in dressing if i tried. i usually got to scrape dressing off if i go overboard and have a bunch leftover. There's this nice middle ground between having not enough dressing, and enough to have a hint of it throughout the entire salad, and the taste of the salad itself is amplified. things like cherry tomatoes and red bell pepper slices get brighter and sweet like candy or something. if theres a ton of dressing it just tastes kinda gross tbh. same thing with cheese... a little goes a very long way, you just need a few grams enough to get a taste of it now and then, trust me cheese tastes pretty bold and strong theres enough flavor there.
