The best all-around substitute for Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) is Rice Vinegar. It has a similar mild acidity and a hint of sweetness that mimics ACV without overpowering the dish.

Other Quick Swaps:

  • White Wine Vinegar: Great for salad dressings and sauces.
  • Lemon Juice: Best for baking or when you need a fresh, bright zing.
  • Distilled White Vinegar: Use only if diluted with a pinch of sugar, as it is much harsher than ACV.
