This salad supports stable energy by combining complex carbs (quinoa), healthy fats, and plant-based micronutrients. According to the American Diabetes Association, fiber and unsaturated fats play a key role in managing blood sugar and insulin sensitivity. Quinoa is also a complete protein—great for plant-based eaters—and rich in magnesium, which helps support blood sugar regulation and muscle function (NIH, 2022).
