Decide what matters most: herb flavor (choose Italian/Greek-style) or the sweet-savory balance (add a tiny pinch of sugar).
Apply the listed ratio to your dressing or salad base, then stir until fully dissolved.
Taste after 2 minutes; if it’s too salty, dilute with more dressing/greens rather than adding more sweetness.
Adjust in small steps: add a pinch more herb blend for aroma, or a squeeze of lemon for tang.
If serving immediately, let the salad sit 5 minutes so the seasoning hydrates and flavor rounds out.
