Olive Oil Toast
Is there anything better than toasted bread? Toast in the morning, toast at dinner, toast most anytime. How do you get your toast fix and still stay true to the Med way? Here is a simple two-step process for having your toast and eating smart.
Mushroom Beef Tacos
This taco filling is flat out delicious. You will love it. It may sound difficult but it is really not that time consuming.
Mushroom Beef Burgers
The Mediterranean way of eating contains very limited amounts of red meat. One way to decrease consumption of red meat is to add vegetables so that you are consuming less.
Mushroom Almond Burger
These are some of the best veggie burgers ever! The small amount of sharp cheese and the umami from the mushrooms give them a great flavor.
Microwave Baked Apples
This is a super easy and super delicious dessert or snack. Any apple will work but firm apples such as Fuji, Gala, or Braeburn work best.
Mediterranean Tuna Salad
Amp up your traditional tuna salad with this delicious recipe. Full of vegetables and flavor, it makes a delectable meal any time of day that the whole family will love.
Mango, Black Bean, and Quinoa Salad
This is a perfect dish for a summer picnic or potluck. Super easy, quick, and delicious.
Lunch Salad
Instead of taking tuna, egg, or chicken salad for lunch, which contain mostly meat, you can make this quick lunch salad that incorporates so many more vegetables and grains, and is as satisfying as it is good for you.
Lentil Sliders
This recipe makes fun small burgers (sliders) or you can make regular size patties.
Kale and Napa Cabbage Slaw with Chicken or Salmon
Napa cabbage is a great variety to use in cooked and raw dishes. The combination of kale and Napa cabbage is colorful and delicious.
Kachumber Salad with Peanuts
This recipe has an Indian name, Kachumber, that means chopped; however, my dear Indian friend says it is not Indian at all. It is, however, delicious.
Honey Citrus Chicken Drumsticks
Remove the skin from the drumsticks for a healthy and delicious finger food – for kids and adults.
Honey Balsamic Glazed Salmon
This salmon is simple and delicious. No capers? No problem. Use chopped green olives instead.
Taco Seasoning
The taco seasoning you buy in the pouches at the grocery store can be high in salt and low in flavor. Make a batch of this seasoning and keep it in your freezer. You can use it for tacos, bean burgers, beans and rice, and whatever else you want to give Mexican flavor.
Green Beans with Lemon Zest
This is a great twist on just plain green beans. The brightness of the lemon zest is delicious.
Ginger Mango Salsa
Make this when you have really ripe mangos. It is a great addition to spicy foods and is terrific on our Mushroom Beef Tacos and Fish Tacos.
Ginger Green Tea
Green tea is an excellent source of antioxidants. The ginger adds a refreshing twist to the usual green tea.
Ginger Curry Mashed Carrots
This is a versatile side dish. You can use it as a base for grilled fish, and it also goes great with lentils. You can even thin it with water to make a soup. You will be hooked the first time you make it. It keeps for several days in the refrigerator and freezes well.
Fruit Smoothie
The ingredients in this recipe can be varied according to taste and availability. Kale can be substituted for spinach, and any other fruits can be used as well.
Fruit Chaat
This is an Indian-style sweet and savory snack that is super easy to prepare. You can vary the fruits to your liking and what’s readily available.
Fish Tacos with Avocado-Mango Salsa
These fish tacos are so light and fresh, they will even turn the heads of the fish taco haters.
Curry Quinoa Salad
This is a great side dish or can be a main dish if added to a large vegetable salad.
Cucumber Olive Oil Sea Salt Yogurt
If you are tired of sweet yogurt, this recipe is for you. You can use kosher salt but flake salt, such as Maldon, is better. It may sound strange but the tiny kick of salt makes this dish.
