Smart Substitution Suggestions

balsamic glaze→balsamic vinegar

Commercial balsamic glazes often contain added sugars and thickeners, whereas balsamic vinegar provides the same flavor profile without the added refined sweeteners.

oil→extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil

Using high-quality cold-pressed oils provides heart-healthy monounsaturated fats compared to generic or refined vegetable oils.
