Opt for whole grain or corn-based taco shells and tortillas, as they release glucose more slowly compared to refined grains.

Use black beans, chickpeas, or lentils as your primary protein source. These foods have a slower impact on blood sugar levels.

Include sources of healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, or seeds in your salad to help moderate glucose absorption.

Incorporate high-fiber vegetables like leafy greens, bell peppers, tomatoes, and cucumbers to slow digestion and glucose release.

Avoid excess corn, rice, or high-carb dressings. Instead, use salsa or a homemade dressing made with olive oil and lime juice.

Fill your salad with non-starchy vegetables such as zucchini, spinach, and mushrooms that have a minimal impact on blood sugar.

Include plant-based proteins like tofu or tempeh to help balance blood sugar levels throughout the meal.

Pay attention to portion sizes, especially for ingredients that are higher in carbohydrates, to prevent overconsumption.

Drink water or unsweetened herbal teas before and during your meal to aid digestion and maintain hydration.
