How to consume Salad Dressing (Home Recipe) without glucose spikes
Use Vinegar-Based Dressings
Opt for dressings that use vinegar as a primary ingredient. Vinegar can help moderate blood sugar levels after meals.
Incorporate Healthy Fats
Add olive oil or avocado oil to your dressing. These healthy fats can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates, leading to more stable blood sugar levels.
Add Fiber-Rich Ingredients
Include chia seeds or ground flaxseeds in your dressing. These can add fiber, helping to slow the digestion process.
Reduce Sweeteners
If your home recipe includes sweeteners, consider reducing the quantity or using alternatives like stevia or monk fruit, which do not impact blood sugar.
Use Lemon Juice
Incorporate lemon juice into your dressing. It can provide a tangy flavor without causing a significant rise in blood sugar.
Include Herbs and Spices
Enhance flavor with herbs and spices like basil, oregano, or garlic powder instead of relying on sugar or other high-carb flavor enhancers.
Combine with Protein
Pair your salad with a protein source like grilled chicken, tofu, or chickpeas to help balance the overall meal and reduce spikes.
Control Portion Size
Be mindful of the portion size of your dressing. Even healthy ingredients can contribute to spikes if used in excess.
Mix in Low-Carb Vegetables
Add vegetables like spinach, kale, or bell peppers to your salad, which can further help to moderate blood sugar responses when combined with dressing.
Experiment with Greek Yogurt
Use Greek yogurt as a creamy base for your dressing instead of mayonnaise or sour cream, as it can provide protein and probiotics.
