Nutritional needs differ from one individual to another, and we invite you to use these dinner plans as inspiration and adjust them as you see fit.Sign upto get a dinner plan delivered to your inbox every Saturday!Summer is here! And as a food lover and dietitian, one of the things I like most about this time of year is the abundance of delicious produce. The sheer variety inspires me to incorporate more veggies into my meals. Eating more produce, along with whole grains, lean proteins and healthy fats areprinciples of the Mediterranean diet. Research has shown that it can help reduce our risk of chronic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, increase longevity, support our cognitive function and much more. While many folks think that following the Mediterranean diet means eating dishes only from countries in that region, its principles can be applied to any cuisine—like the recipes in this week’s dinner plan. Let’s dive in!Your Weekly PlanSunday:Cast-Iron Skillet Pizza with Red Peppers, Chicken & SpinachMonday:Frittata with Asparagus, Leek & RicottaTuesday:Grilled Chicken Tacos with Slaw & Lime CremaWednesday:Creamy Lemon Orzo with Spinach & Snap PeasThursday:Coconut-Curry Chicken CutletsFriday:Shrimp Lettuce WrapsGet Shopping ListSunday: Cast-Iron Skillet Pizza with Red Peppers, Chicken & SpinachJason DonnellyWho knew you could make pizza in a cast-iron skillet? Well, yes, you can! The great thing about this method is that your crust will be extra crispy. And this pizza is not only delicious but also full of beautiful colors (and thus, nutrients) fromred pepper, spinach and basil. While I could roast the bell peppers myself, turning to jarred saves me tons of time.Get the RecipeMonday: Frittata with Asparagus, Leek & RicottaPhotographer / Jacob Fox, Food styling / Sue Mitchell, Food Styling / Kelsey BulatI always think of frittatas and quiches as weekend brunch dishes, but every time I make one for dinner, I’m glad I did! The asparagus and leeks not only make it visually appealing but are among thebest foods to help improve your gut health. And the ricotta cheese and crème fraîche add the perfect creaminess. I’ll toss mixed greens with aMeyer Lemon Vinaigretteto serve alongside.Get the RecipeTuesday: Grilled Chicken Tacos with Slaw & Lime CremaWhile it is Taco Tuesday, I think that tacos are worth having any day of the week (and more than once!). The combination of chili powder and charred flavor from grilling the chicken is delightful. Plus, topping them off with cabbage slaw adds a bright and crunchy touch. Before I start on the tacos, I’ll salt the cucumbers for thisCucumber Vinegar Salad. Then, while the chicken is cooking, I’ll finish the salad.Get the RecipeWednesday: Creamy Lemon Orzo with Spinach & Snap PeasPhotographer: Jen Causey, Food Stylist: Ruth BlackburnAlthough orzo looks like rice,it’s actually a type of pasta. The combination of orzo, spinach and snap peas delivers a whopping 12 grams of fiber per serving. To round out the meal, I’ll serve it with a simple but flavorfulSkillet Lemon-Garlic Salmon.Get the RecipeThursday: Coconut-Curry Chicken CutletsA key ingredient in the flavor-packed sauce is the Thai curry paste—an aromatic blend of lemongrass, ginger and chile pepper. Using it adds lots of lovely and cozy flavors without the need for additional sodium. While the chicken simmers away, I have time to makeSautéed Zucchini & Onions with Chive Butter. These two veggies are rich in lutein and zeaxanthin, antioxidant nutrients that support your eye health.Get the RecipeFriday: Shrimp Lettuce WrapsPhotographer Victor Protasio, Food Stylist Julian Hensarling, Prop Stylist Tucker VinesOne thing I love about summerdishes is how fresh and vibrant they are. And this recently published dinner delivers just that! Veggies like red bell peppers, red onions, carrots, cilantro and even lettuce provide many nutrients that support your overall health. This recipe has a bit of a kick from the sambal oelek (spicy chile paste), so feel free to adjust the portion based on your preferences.Easy Fried Ricepairs perfectly with these shrimp lettuce wraps.Get the RecipeI wish you all a great week, and I hope you enjoy this dinner plan.
