How do you tone down savory dishes that are too sweet?

1. Acid: Add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice, a splash of vinegar, or a spoonful of yogurt or sour cream to balance the sweetness.

2. Salt: Salt can help to offset the sweetness of a dish. Be careful not to overdo it, though, as too much salt can make a dish taste bitter.

3. Herbs and spices: Herbs like parsley, cilantro, and basil can add a fresh, flavorful note to a dish and help to balance out sweetness. Spices like chili powder, cumin, and black pepper can also help to add depth of flavor and tone down sweetness.

4. Bitter greens: Bitter greens like kale, spinach, and arugula can help to balance out sweetness. Just be sure to cook them properly so that they are tender and not too bitter.

5. Nuts and seeds: Nuts and seeds can add crunch and texture to a dish and help to balance out sweetness. Toast them before adding them to the dish for added flavor.

6. Cheese: Cheese can also help to balance out sweetness in a dish. Parmesan, cheddar, and feta are all good options.

7. Wine or broth: Add a splash of white wine or chicken broth to the dish. The acidity of the wine or broth will help to balance out the sweetness.

8. Serve with less sauce: If the sweetness is coming from a sauce, consider serving the dish with less sauce or with a different sauce.
