Add a variety of leafy greens like spinach or kale to your salad, as they are high in fiber and can help slow down the absorption of glucose.

Include sources of healthy fats such as avocado or a sprinkle of seeds like chia or flaxseeds. These fats can help moderate blood sugar levels.

If you add grains to your salad, choose whole grains like quinoa or barley instead of refined grains. They have a slower impact on blood sugar.

Add vegetables such as bell peppers, cucumbers, or tomatoes, which have a lesser impact on glucose levels.

Use a homemade dressing with olive oil and vinegar instead of store-bought varieties that may contain added sugars.

Ensure your salad includes a good portion of protein, like grilled chicken, to help stabilize your blood sugar.

Keep an eye on the portion size of higher-carb ingredients like pasta or bread croutons to avoid unnecessary spikes.

Drink plenty of water during your meal, as staying hydrated can aid in better glucose regulation.

Add a handful of nuts like almonds or walnuts for additional healthy fats and protein, which can help reduce blood sugar spikes.

Take your time to eat, as this can help your body better manage glucose levels by giving it time to respond to the food intake.
