Tandoori Chicken Tikka Salad (Subway) (1 Serving)

Pair the salad with a small serving of lentils or chickpeas to provide slower, steadier carbohydrate alongside the protein.

Add avocado, olive-oil dressing, nuts, or seeds to slow digestion and improve meal satiety; choose dressings without added sugar.

Include more non-starchy vegetables such as leafy greens, cucumber, peppers, broccoli, or cauliflower for fiber and meal volume.

Avoid sweet tandoori marinades, chutneys, sweetened yogurt sauces, and sugary bottled dressings; use plain yogurt, mint, lemon, herbs, and spices instead.

If you tend to experience a glucose drop after this meal, avoid eating it after a long fast and have it as part of a regular meal schedule.

Keep the chicken portion moderate and balance it with fiber-rich vegetables and a small portion of beans rather than adding refined breads or sugary drinks.
