Smart Substitution Suggestions

balsamic vinaigrette→extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice

Store-bought vinaigrettes often contain added sugars, sodium, and seed oils; a DIY blend offers better control over ingredients.

feta cheese→goat cheese or avocado slices

Feta is high in sodium; swapping for avocado provides heart-healthy monounsaturated fats while maintaining creaminess.
