The Mediterranean diet is one of the healthiest eating patterns. What I love about it is that, unlike other diets with strict rules about what not to eat, it focuses on incorporating delicious foods that support your health. This eating pattern encourages you to eat plenty of veggies, whole grains, unsaturated fats and lean proteins. Even more so, nothing is off-limits, so you can still enjoy your favorite foods, making it a more positive approach to healthy eating than fad diets. This week’s dinners align with theprinciples of this eating pattern. Plus, they are made in 30 minutes or less to make healthy dinners easy for you.

Tuesday: Crunchy Chicken & Mango SaladIt’s getting warmer here in Austin, and a fresh salad is a tasty way to cool down. I’ve made it a habit to pick up a rotisserie chicken weekly—that way, I always have cooked chicken on hand to save time when making dinner. My favorite feature of this salad is its crunchy texture, from the sugar snap peas and napa cabbage. To complete the meal, I’ll serve it with toasted whole-wheat naan.Get the Recipe
