Dal Yellow (Hommade) (1 Serving) and Mixed Salad Greens (1 Cup, Shredded Or Chopped)

Reduce the yellow dal portion and avoid having it as the main carbohydrate source; keep the mixed salad greens generous.

Add protein such as eggs, tofu, tempeh, fish, or plain unsweetened Greek yogurt to the meal.

Include fats and fiber with the dal, such as avocado, olives, chia seeds, flaxseed, walnuts, or a vinaigrette made with olive oil and vinegar.

Avoid pairing the meal with rice, naan, roti, potatoes, sweet drinks, or dessert; use cauliflower rice or extra non-starchy vegetables instead.

Cook dal until tender but not overly broken down, and choose a thicker preparation rather than a watery, blended soup.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating and consider slowing the meal pace.
