How to consume french nicoise salad without glucose spikes
Increase Fiber Content
Add more leafy greens like spinach or kale to your salad. They help slow down the absorption of glucose.
Incorporate Healthy Fats
Add avocado or a handful of nuts, such as almonds or walnuts. Healthy fats can help moderate glucose spikes.
Opt for Whole-Grain Options
If your salad includes any grains, choose quinoa or bulgur instead of refined grains.
Balance with Protein
Include grilled chicken, tofu, or a boiled egg in your salad to help slow digestion and prevent rapid glucose increase.
Use Vinegar-Based Dressing
Dress your salad with vinegar-based dressings like balsamic or apple cider vinegar, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Add Legumes
Incorporate beans or lentils, as they are high in protein and fiber, aiding in a slower glucose release.
Mind Portion Sizes
Be mindful of the portion sizes of higher-carbohydrate ingredients like potatoes, which are typically part of a Niçoise salad.
Choose Low-Sugar Ingredients
Avoid canned tuna or olives that are in oil or syrup with added sugars. Opt for versions packed in water or brine.
Eat Slowly
Take your time to eat and enjoy your salad. Eating slowly can help your body better process the food and manage blood sugar levels.
Hydrate Well
Drink water before and during your meal to aid digestion and help maintain balanced glucose levels.
