Salata fara carne Taco (1 piece)

Skip or greatly reduce tortilla chips, taco shells, and large portions of rice; use extra romaine lettuce or cabbage as the base instead.

Add a protein source such as tofu, tempeh, black beans, or lentils to slow digestion and blunt the rise.

Include avocado, olives, or a small amount of cheese as part of the salad to make the meal more filling and slow carbohydrate absorption.

Keep beans to a moderate portion and avoid sweet corn, sweet sauces, and sugary dressings; choose salsa, lime juice, or an unsweetened yogurt-based dressing.

Eat the salad and protein components first, leaving any starchy toppings for last or omitting them.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after the meal, if safe for you.
