Use measuring spoons to ensure you're using a modest amount of dressing on your salad. Overdressing can contribute to a higher glucose spike.

Add protein-rich foods like grilled chicken, tofu, or chickpeas to your salad. The protein can help to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include sources of healthy fats such as avocado slices, nuts, or seeds. These can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Opt for low-carbohydrate salad bases like spinach, kale, or arugula, which are more likely to stabilize your glucose levels.

Enhance your salad with high-fiber vegetables like cucumbers, bell peppers, or broccoli. The fiber can help slow the digestion process.

Use vinegar-based dressings rather than creamy ones. The acidity in vinegar may help reduce blood sugar spikes.

If your dressing includes sweeteners, choose options like stevia or monk fruit, which have minimal impact on blood sugar.

Use herbs and spices like basil, oregano, or garlic to flavor your dressing instead of sugar or high-carb ingredients.

Take your time to chew and enjoy your meal. Eating slowly can help your body better manage glucose levels.

Drink water before or during your meal to aid digestion and prevent overeating.
