8 Mediterranean Diet Ingredients You Need in Your Pantry
The Mediterranean diet is touted as one of the healthiest eating plans. Meals are plant-forward and based on whole foods, including vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, pulses (chickpeas, lentils, dry peas, and beans), whole grains, herbs, spices, and olive oil. The eating plan also includes moderate amounts of dairy foods (including yogurt), eggs, fish, and poultry. Small amounts of red meats and sweets can periodically be included, if you’d like.

If you want to bulk up the recipe and pack in fiber, add some cooked beans or a cooked grain (brown rice, quinoa, or whatever you might have in the pantry all work great).
