BENEFITS OF A MEDITERRANEAN DIET • Find out why switching to a Mediterranean diet could be the best investment you ever make in your health.
BREAKFAST • Protein-rich eggs are a Mediterranean diet staple. These satisfying dishes are a hearty and healthy way to start the day, but could certainly be paired with a green salad and enjoyed as a light lunch or dinner, too.
SOUPS • From light and brothy to hearty and filling, the Mediterranean diet has a soup for every occasion. Grab a big pot and put your stove to work with this comforting collection featuring lean proteins and nutrient-dense vegetables.
SALADS • These bright, bold recipes have it all: loads of colorful vegetables, generous handfuls of fresh herbs, a never-boring mix of textures and flavors, and lean proteins like shrimp and beans to fill you up without weighing you down.
SKEWERS • The method is simple: Season or marinate pieces of meat, poultry, or seafood, thread them onto skewers, and grill or sear until cooked. These bold and flavorful recipes prove why this technique is a Mediterranean favorite.
PIZZA + BREAD • You can try your hand at homemade pizza crust or foccacia, or take a shortcut with storebought dough or purchased flatbreads. Whatever you choose, all these veggie-topped pies and breads lead to deliciousness.
DIPS + HUMMUS • Sure, you can find plenty of dips and hummus options at most supermarkets, but homemade versions taste so much better—and are better for you—with generous amounts of crackers, lavosh, or raw or grilled vegetables.
PASTA + GRAINS • Spaghetti, rigatoni, orzo, couscous, farro, quinoa, spelt, bulgur, and more. All are welcome options on the Mediterranean diet. Consider these recipes a starting point for delicious exploration.
FISH + SEAFOOD • A variety of fresh fish is a Mediterranean diet must. If you’re intimidated by cooking seafood, let these recipes serve as an entry point. Simple preparations and techniques like roasting and grilling will make you feel like a pro.
SANDWICHES + TOASTS • Sometimes the quickest way to a good-for-you dinner starts with a slice (or two!) of bread. Take your pick of sourdough, ciabatta, or pita, then pile on plenty of vegetables, a little cheese—perhaps some lean protein—for a handheld meal in minutes.
PULSES • Beans, lentils, and peas have a lot going for them. They’re inexpensive, easy to prepare, versatile, and are packed with protein, fiber, and minerals like iron, zinc, and magnesium. These recipes offer just a few delicious ways to enjoy them.
CHICKEN • As if we needed another reason to love this lean protein. The versatile weeknight staple takes on a different persona for every night of the week from comforting stew to zippy sheet pan meal and everything in between.
SWEETS • There’s always room for dessert—even on the Mediterranean diet. Featuring fruits, nuts, and honey, this collection of better-for-you recipes is sure to indulge your sweet tooth without derailing your health goals.
