Smart Substitution Suggestions

2 tbsp vinaigrette→Extra virgin olive oil and fresh lemon juice

Commercial vinaigrettes often contain refined sugars, inflammatory seed oils, and artificial preservatives, whereas olive oil provides healthy monounsaturated fats.

1/4 red onion→1/4 cup sprouted pumpkin seeds or hemp hearts

While red onion is healthy, increasing the portion of seeds provides higher protein and essential fatty acids for better satiety during lunch or snacks.
