- Substitute olive oil for the Italian dressing - the benefit of this substitution is that it will provide a healthier, lower calorie option for the dish while still providing a flavorful and zesty finish. The thinking behind this substitution is that olive oil is a healthier and more natural alternative to a store-bought Italian dressing.
- Substitute fresh basil for the parsley - the benefit of this substitution is that it will provide a stronger, more pungent flavor to the dish.
