Mediterranean Diet Soup and Salad Ideas
We typically have a large salad available for holiday meals. It’s a great way to sneak in some extra veggies but also have options for people that have dietary restrictions, allergies, etc. Plus the salads don’t require any prime stove top or oven space so it’s a win win!
Soup can be tricky if you have a large gathering. However for more intimate holiday meals, a nice pot of soup might be a great meal addition. We shared one of our absolute favorites that comes right from the store!
- Easy Butternut Squash Soup (from the store!)
Mediterranean Diet Inspired Sides
Side dishes are my favorite part of most meals. Anyone else? These side dishes are all Mediterranean diet inspired and easy to prepare.
- Oven Baked Sweet Potatoes with Garlic and Herb Oil
- Apple, Leek and Mushroom Stuffing
- Crispy Parmesan Brussels Sprouts (air fryer recipe)
- Simple Greek Roasted Vegetables
- The Best Sautéed Mushrooms
- Roasted Delicata Squash with Garlic & Parmesan
- Mashed Cauliflower with White Beans and Horseradish
