Opposite of “extra dressing“? [closed]

If I want my salad to have more dressing, I’ll order it with extra dressing. Is there an adjective that would mean less-than-normal in this context?

Solution 1:

In this context, you'd use the word "light".

For example: I'll have ham on rye, light on the mustard.

This is the general terminology used for ordering food.

From Etymonline

light (adj.1) "not heavy, having little actual weight," from Old English leoht (West Saxon), leht (Anglian), "not heavy, light in weight; lightly constructed; easy to do, trifling; quick, agile," also of food, sleep, etc., from Proto-Germanic *lingkhtaz (source also of Old Norse lettr, Swedish lätt, Old Frisian, Middle Dutch licht, German leicht, Gothic leihts), from PIE root *legwh- "not heavy, having little weight." The adverb is Old English leohte, from the adjective.
