Bean Salad
Choose your own adventure, bean salad edition.
Based on this question, I threw together a "choose your own adventure" recipe. It probably won't work for the asker, but maybe it'll work for you. I was excited to finally find a good use for the "choose your own adventure" software.
Does not contain "if" statements. I was trying to be quick about it, plus I only read the first two tutorials.
Will add an ingredient or two if it'll make it more useful for you, the person reading this.
I feel like I just invented a genre. If this is already a genre, please share links. If this isn't a genre, I hope it is now!

This is cool! I'd love it to pop me up a summary list of my choices at the end, like
You made a Kidney bean, bell pepper, lemon juice and olive oil salad!
No idea if the software does that, just my pony as a potential salad eater :)

I like this, thanks. One thing - if I click on add flavour, then decide against it, can I get back to adding sweetness instead? Could not see a way.

Now! with clickable links and the ability to forget flavor! Apparently I duplicated the story to test out the ability to add links without breaking things and then forgot I was working in a sandbox, so this is a different link than the one in the original post.
A summary seems quite reasonable, penguin pie! If there's a 2.0, I'll see if I can figure that out. If I go there, the three-bean-salad expansion pack will be next.
