How to consume chef salad without glucose spikes

Skip croutons, tortilla strips, candied nuts, dried fruit, and sweet dressings; these are common sources of rapid-acting carbohydrates in chef salads.

Choose a dressing made with olive oil and vinegar, lemon juice, or herbs, and request it on the side so you can limit the amount.

Build the salad around leafy greens, cucumber, tomato, and other non-starchy vegetables, with egg, chicken, turkey, tofu, or cheese for protein.

Eat the protein and vegetables first, then any carbohydrate-containing additions, to help blunt the post-meal rise.

Keep portions of higher-carbohydrate add-ons small, especially beans, corn, pasta salad, or bread served alongside the salad.

Take an easy 10–20 minute walk after eating, if safe for you, to help lower the post-meal glucose response.
