How to consume chef salad without glucose spikes

Include Lean Proteins

Add grilled chicken or turkey to your salad. Proteins help in slowing down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Opt for Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats like avocado slices or a sprinkle of nuts and seeds. These can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Choose Low-Starch Vegetables

Use leafy greens such as spinach or kale, and include a variety of vegetables like bell peppers, cucumbers, and tomatoes.

Add Vinegar-Based Dressing

Use vinegar-based dressings like balsamic or apple cider vinegar with olive oil instead of creamy dressings.

Limit High-Sugar Ingredients

Avoid adding sugary ingredients like candied nuts or dried fruits.

Watch Portion Sizes

Be mindful of the portion sizes of high-carbohydrate toppings such as croutons or bread.

Incorporate Legumes

Add a small amount of chickpeas or lentils for added fiber and protein.

Hydrate Adequately

Drink water before and during your meal, which can help in moderating blood sugar responses.

Chew Thoroughly

Eating slowly and chewing food well can aid digestion and help regulate the body's insulin response.

Monitor Blood Sugar Response

Keep track of how different salad components affect your glucose levels and adjust ingredients accordingly in future meals.
