Instead of Extra virgin olive oil
For salad dressings nothing truly replaces its fruity, peppery finish; for cooking the oils above are fine.
Vegetable oilUse the same weight for cooking; neutral and cheaper, but you lose the fruity olive flavour.
Mustard oilUse the same weight, but heat it to smoking point and cool slightly first; it adds a pungent Indian mustard note.
GheeUse 90% of the weight; richer and nutty, good for Indian cooking but not for cold dressings.
