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.
This recipe is the epitome of ‘healthy made convenient’ tossed with a bit of awesome. Simply dice up the veg with pre-cooked chicken and you have a delicious work lunch or quick-prep dinner.
Vinegar and fresh herbs keep this classic dish tasting bold, while olives, cucumber and tomatoes help keep the nutrient value high. The perfect balance? I think so.
P.S. – Try a half portion in a whole wheat pita. It’s a bomb on-the-go meal!

1/3 cup red-wine vinegar
