English Sprouts Salad (1 Cup)

Reduce the portion of the sprouts salad and eat it slowly, especially if it contains sweet dressings, croutons, dried fruit, or sugary sauces.

Choose a dressing based on olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, herbs, and mustard without added sugar; use it generously enough to coat the salad.

Add a protein source such as grilled chicken, eggs, tofu, tempeh, salmon, or plain Greek yogurt to slow the rise after the meal.

Include healthy fats such as avocado, walnuts, almonds, pumpkin seeds, or olive oil rather than eating the salad on its own.

If the salad includes starchy additions, replace them with non-starchy vegetables such as cucumber, spinach, peppers, tomatoes, or broccoli.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, and monitor how changes in portion size and ingredients affect your glucose response.
