Add healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or seeds to your salad. Fats can contribute to a slower absorption of sugars into your bloodstream.

Opt for dressings with little to no added sugars. Olive oil and vinegar or lemon juice can be great alternatives.

Add fiber-rich vegetables like cucumber, bell peppers, or spinach. Fiber can help regulate blood sugar levels.

Be mindful of the portion sizes of higher carbohydrate ingredients like cheese and carrots. Keeping them in moderation can help control sugar spikes.

Instead of consuming all the salad at once, consider eating smaller portions over a longer period.

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. It can aid digestion and help manage blood sugar levels.

Taking your time to chew and enjoy your food can aid digestion and help prevent rapid spikes in blood sugar.

Ensure that the vegetables in your salad are fresh, as they tend to have better nutrient profiles and fiber content.
