As you see in the roundup, Mediterranean diet recipes are easy and packed with flavor from vegetables, herbs, and all-natural ingredients. This simple Mediterranean salad recipe with tomatoes, cucumbers, and parsley, is an everyday recipe we eat often on the Mediterranean diet. That is why I am including it here for your convenience. You can change it up by adding feta cheese, chickpeas, or even a cup of cooked couscous to turn it into a meal!
