…and to round off our Smart Swaps series:
Chia Seeds
You can create a chia seed “egg” by mixing chia seeds with water. This gel-like mixture can be used as a binding agent in baking recipes as a high-fiber alternative to eggs.
Homemade Salad Dressing
Prepare your own salad dressing using olive oil, vinegar, herbs and spices. Store-bought dressings often contain added sugars and preservatives that are unnecessary to attain the flavor you enjoy (plus, you’ll save money!).
These smart swaps not only contribute to healthier cooking but also add variety and flavor to your meals. Experimenting with these alternatives can be a fun and creative way to make your favorite dishes more nutritionally balanced.
