- Read packaged-food labels for allergens and salt levels.
- Keep optional garnishes out of the five-ingredient count when planning your shopping.
- Choose a salsa, pesto, or barbecue sauce you already enjoy, since it supplies much of the flavor.
- Short ingredient lists do not always mean short cooking times; check the total time before choosing.
Frequently asked questions
Do salt and butter both count?
Salt, pepper, water, and cooking oil are excluded basics. Butter counts as one of the five main ingredients.
Does a side dish fit within the five ingredients?
Only the recipe itself is counted. Suggested bread, rice, salad, or other optional sides require their own ingredients.
