How to consume Salads without glucose spikes

Start with a smaller salad portion and eat slowly; a large volume of fast-digested toppings can still raise glucose.

Build the salad around non-starchy vegetables such as leafy greens, cucumber, tomatoes, peppers, mushrooms, and broccoli.

Add protein and fat to slow absorption, such as eggs, tofu, chicken, fish, avocado, olive oil, or an unsweetened yogurt-based dressing.

Choose fiber-rich additions in modest portions, such as lentils, chickpeas, or beans, instead of croutons, sweetened dried fruit, or large amounts of corn.

Check dressings and toppings for added sugar; use olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, herbs, tahini, or unsweetened yogurt rather than sweet vinaigrettes.

If spikes continue, test individual ingredients on separate days and note portion sizes, especially grains, fruit, beans, dressings, and crunchy toppings.
