equal parts

Fifty-fifty each ingredient

Equal parts means identical amounts of each component.

The phrase appears most often in recipes and drink mixing, where ingredients combine in the same proportion: Mix equal parts vinegar and oil for the dressing.

It extends beyond cooking to any situation requiring balanced division: The movie was equal parts comedy and horror.
