Please provide a concise description of the problem that would be addressed by this feature.

Some recipes have an ingredient list for the main meal and then another list of ingredients for the dressing.

Mealie does not appear to support this other than through manually adding notes.

Please provide a concise description of the feature that would resolve your issue.

The introduction of an ingredient category or sub category may allow for the isolation of ingredients for the meal vs dressing.

Please consider and list out some caveats or tradeoffs made in your design decision

The tradeoff is that this may introduce complexity in the user interface.

You could consider using 'Sections' for ingredients. This is what I do to sometimes separate 'dry' vs 'wet' ingredients so I don't specifically have to say which ingredients during a step... though I do typically link those ingredients to various steps as well.

There's a PR for being able to link 'sub-recipes' but until that point, I think this is your best bet.

Thankyou !
