Smart Substitution Suggestions
Commercial vinaigrettes often contain refined sugars, inflammatory seed oils, and artificial preservatives, whereas olive oil provides healthy monounsaturated fats.
While red onion is healthy, increasing the portion of seeds provides higher protein and essential fatty acids for better satiety during lunch or snacks.
