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 I had to choose one thing to eat for the rest of my life, this dish may very well be it. Why? Because it’s versatile, scrumptious and healthy. With a heavenly base of roasted red pepper sauce and quinoa – and a wide variety of toppings from which to choose – it’s a bowl that bends to whatever you’re craving (while staying low carb).

1 (16 oz.) jar roasted red peppers, drained
