Recipe Ingredient Substitution Tool — illustrative example

INPUT
A salad dressing calls for lemon juice; user has lime juice and no relevant stated allergy.

RESULT
Lime juice can provide the acidic role in this dressing. Start with a similar amount and adjust to taste; the flavor will differ.
Do not generalize the swap to preservation recipes where acidity must be controlled.

REVIEW
Ingredient substitutions depend on the ingredient's role in the recipe. Explain likely effects on texture and flavor, and check allergies and dietary constraints instead of assuming a substitute is equivalent.

This is a teaching example, not a live execution record.
