I'm not a fan of arugula, so I used baby spinach instead. It was a great substitute.

I didn't have any balsamic vinegar on hand, so I used a white wine vinegar instead. It worked just as well.

I used a red onion instead of a yellow onion and it turned out great. The red onion added a bit of extra color and flavor to the dish.

I'm not a big fan of olives, so I omitted them from the recipe. It was still delicious!

This grilled bread appetizer was a hit at my last party! The combination of arugula, goat cheese, olives, and onions was perfect, and the balsamic vinegar reduction added a delicious finishing touch. I'll definitely be making this again.
