Incorporate a small amount of honey (about 1 teaspoon to 1.5 teaspoons) for sweetness.

Add a sprinkle of nutritional yeast for a bit of bitterness and flavor.

Add a little bit of cracked black pepper for the spicy flavor.

Mix all the ingredients together in a jar with a lid.

Taste the dressing to ensure all five flavors (bitter, sweet, sour, salty, spicy) are balanced.

For beginners, taste the dressing five times, asking if it is spicy enough, bitter enough, sour enough, sweet enough, etc.
