Smart Substitution Suggestions

2 tbsp parmesan→2 tbsp nutritional yeast

Provides a similar savory, cheesy flavor while being dairy-free, lower in saturated fat, and higher in B vitamins.

2 heads romaine lettuce→2 heads mixed dark leafy greens (spinach, kale, or arugula)

Darker greens typically offer a higher density of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals compared to romaine lettuce.
