I’m a dietitian on the Mediterranean diet. Here are 7 of my favorite recipes for an easy dinner.

As a registered dietitian, I generally follow the principles of the Mediterranean diet as closely as I can.

It’s constantly being touted as the best way to eat, and I agree.

Those following the Mediterranean diet prioritize lean proteins, seafood, fresh produce, legumes, and whole grains, while mostly avoiding ultra-processed foods.

However, preparing dinners that fit the bill can be quite time-consuming, especially during the week.

Because I’m juggling my business, parenting responsibilities, relationships, and so much more, doing lots of cooking and meal prep is simply isn’t in the cards.

Luckily, I have found ways to still whip up nutritious and delicious dinners on busy days.

Here are some of the recipes I keep going back to.
