Substitutes:
- Tomatoes: Use any small cherry tomatoes, or your next option will be vine-ripe tomatoes

- Oil: Avocado or olive oil. Grapeseed oil is also ok
- Vinegar: We love balsamic, but you can also use red wine vinegar.
- Seasoning: if you don't have any Italian seasoning handy, use these other herbs to make some: dried parsley, basil, oregano, thyme, and rosemary.
