You’ve probably seen headlines about the health benefits of a Mediterranean diet at one point in your life, and apparently the diet is know for having lower levels of “bad” cholesterol, which in turn can help prevent heart disease. Besides the awesome health benefits, Mediterranean food is delicious, full of flavor, and easy on the eyes with bursts of color from pomegranate seeds, tomatoes, and parsley. It also always makes me feel like I’m on a vacation in Greece or Israel, even if I’m just in my apartment eating dinner with friends. Check out some of TrendsGirl’s favorite Mediterranean recipes below and try them out one night for dinner!
