How to consume Greek Salad without glucose spikes
Increase Fiber Intake
Add more fibrous vegetables to your Greek salad, such as spinach, kale, or broccoli. Fiber helps slow down the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.
Include Protein
Add a source of lean protein like grilled chicken, turkey, or tofu. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels and reduce spikes.
Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats such as avocado, olives, or a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. These fats are known to slow down the digestion process.
Portion Control
Be mindful of the portion size of any high-carb ingredients in the salad, such as croutons or pita on the side. Reducing their quantity can help manage blood sugar levels.
Vinegar Dressing
Use a vinegar-based dressing instead of creamy dressings. Vinegar has properties that can help regulate blood sugar.
Nuts and Seeds
Add a handful of nuts or seeds such as almonds, walnuts, or sunflower seeds to your salad. They provide healthy fats and protein, which can help control glucose levels.
Limit Sugary Additions
Avoid adding fruits with high sugar content like raisins or cranberries, and instead opt for fresh berries if you like some sweetness.
Hydration
Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to help your body process the food more effectively and maintain balanced blood sugar levels.
Eat Slowly
Take your time to chew and savor your meal. Eating slowly can help your body better regulate sugar absorption.
Post-Meal Activity
Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating. This can help your muscles use glucose more efficiently.

The concept of using CGM to guide your training and food plan is brilliant. The app is also very well laid out.
