Add lean proteins like grilled chicken, tofu, or chickpeas to your salad. Protein helps slow down carbohydrate absorption, reducing spikes.

Mix in healthy fats such as avocado slices, a handful of nuts, or a drizzle of olive oil. These fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Include more fiber-rich vegetables like broccoli, bell peppers, or carrots. Fiber slows digestion and can help prevent rapid glucose increases.

Opt for a dressing made with vinegar, like balsamic or apple cider vinegar, which can help moderate blood sugar responses.

Avoid adding dried fruits or sweetened ingredients to your salad. Instead, choose fresh berries or a slice of apple for a touch of sweetness.

Be mindful of portion sizes, especially with quinoa. Moderation can prevent excessive carbohydrate intake.

Instead of having quinoa alone, mix it with other whole grains such as barley or farro, which digest more slowly.

Stay hydrated by drinking water before and during your meal, which can aid in better digestion and blood sugar control.

Include lentils or black beans in your salad, as they are digested slowly and provide a steady energy release.

If possible, consume your salad as part of a balanced meal rather than as a standalone dish, possibly reducing its impact on glucose levels.
