Olive oil has a unique taste that can't be matched by any other oil. If this is a case of not having any on hand then you could use corn, canola, or vegetable oil if you are mixing a dressing. If you are planning to use oil and vinegar, or oil alone, then there really isn't a substitute. If you want to substitute it because of health concerns, then bear in mind that 100% pure virgin olive oil is probably the healthiest choice.
