These recipes all use four ingredients! They are super quick and easy and they're all delicious. Some of these recipes use very fresh ingredients, and just naturally need fewer additions. Others rely on convenience foods and prepared salad dressings and other food products to reduce the ingredient count. Just so you know, seasonings, oil, and water aren't included in the total ingredient count - you should have those ingredients on hand at all times!

When using few ingredients, it's very important to buy the best and freshest produce and other foods that you can find. Every texture and flavor is critical in these recipes. Have fun, and remember that you can add more ingredients to each of these recipes if you'd like.
