the swaps that make it work
Palm sugar
→ Honey (1 tsp)
Reduces added sugar by ~85% while preserving the balance of sweet and sour.
Vegetable oil
→ Extra-virgin olive oil
Monounsaturated fat supports heart health and stable blood sugar.
2 tbsp lime juice
→ 3 tbsp lime juice
Boosts acidity and brightness so less sweetener is needed.
