This salad is more than just a pretty plate—it’s packed with ingredients that support your metabolism and help keep blood sugar balanced. The combination of healthy fats and protein from the burrata and walnuts, paired with fiber-rich figs and tomatoes, helps you stay satisfied while avoiding blood sugar spikes. And capers? These tiny flavor bombs contain nutrients that support liver function, helping with detoxification and hormone regulation—two keys to a healthy metabolism.
Nutritional Benefits:
Healthy Fats (Burrata Cheese & Walnuts):
Essential for hormone production and keeping you full. Fats slow the absorption of sugar, keeping blood glucose stable and preventing energy crashes.
Fiber (Tomatoes & Figs):
Fiber helps slow the digestion of carbs, which balances blood sugar levels and supports healthy digestion—both critical for metabolic health.
