Welcome to 30 Days on a Mediterranean Diet, our new blog series! It’s no secret that eating the Mediterranean way helps with heart health and weight loss. But fast-paced modern living makes it hard to stick to any diet, which is why each 30 Days on a Mediterranean Diet post will feature a healthy Mediterranean recipe.

If last post’s Day 1 rocked your world, then get ready to sink your teeth into today’s delicious recipe. The star of the dish – Yellowfin tuna – is a low-fat, high-protein source of niacin and B6 vitamins, and minerals like iron and potassium.

Not to mention, it’s crazy tasty. The recipe features a classic Mediterranean flavor profile of garlic, olive oil and lemon juice, making for a light and bright summer dinner choice.
