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.

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