Smart Substitution Suggestions
Commercial balsamic vinegars often contain added sugars and sulfites, whereas apple cider vinegar or lemon juice provide health benefits without the hidden sweeteners.
While olive oil is healthy, rotating to avocado oil provides a higher smoke point for versatility or adding flaxseed oil offers a boost of omega-3 fatty acids for better nutritional density.
