This vegetarian meal plan features 5 days of flavorful Mediterranean recipes that feature fresh veggies, grains, and olive oil!

Using a weekly meal plan is the easiest way to prepare healthy meals for you and your family. Having a weekly meal plan will save you time, money, and frustration when trying to figure out what to cook for dinner every weeknight.
Love Mediterranean food? We’ve got you covered! This week’s meal plan has some of my favorite Mediterranean recipes made with the freshest vegetables! These delectable dishes are influenced by the cuisines of Greece, Italy, Israel, and their neighbors.
The best part of Mediterranean recipes is that they are unprocessed, plant-based meals! Using fresh veggies, fruits, whole grains, nuts, seeds, legumes, and unrefined oils (hellooooo olive oil!) are all dominant ingredients of the Mediterranean diet.
