With all the fresh summer fruits and veggies, there’s no easier time to lean into the principles of the Mediterranean diet, which research touts as one of the healthiest ways to eat. The delicious dinners in this week’s plan feature plenty of veggies, whole grains, healthy fats and lean proteins, packaged up in recipes that are ready in 25 minutes or less.
Your Meal Plan
The principles of the Mediterranean diet can be applied to any cuisine, not just to those traditional in the Mediterranean region, which is why you’ll see everything from Monday’sEasy Eggplant Stir-Fryto Friday’sGrilled Chicken Tacos with Slaw & Lime Crema. I love that Monday’sEasy Eggplant Stir-Fryhas the added bonus of being ready in just 15 minutes. I’ll pair this dinner with a package of pre-cooked brown rice to add a healthy whole grain and cut down on total prep time. If you’re looking to add a little extra protein, top it with a fried egg.

Meal-Prep Lunch
Carolyn Hodges, M.S., RDN
I usually take leftovers for lunch, but we’ve been making such tasty dinners lately that there’s often not much left over! Or, my husband snags them for his lunch before I can get to them. This easy recipe forSpinach & Strawberry Meal-Prep Saladis a great lunch recipe for the summer months. Heartier spinach holds up better than more delicate lettuce in the fridge all week, and waiting to add your strawberries and dressing until you’re ready to eat helps keep the greens from wilting.

To this take on the classic Italian Aperol spritz, we add tangy grapefruit juice for an extra kick of citrus. It’s a refreshing drink to sip during the warm summer months, and you bet I’ll be making myself one to enjoy this weekend. Saluti!
