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.
There’s something so wonderfully comforting about chicken simmered in garlic, olive oil, a little wine maybe. And then when you add the briny goodness of olives punctuated by tart lemon? Heaven. And healthy, too.
The mustard greens, however, are where the real nutrients are in this dish.
Mustard greens are almost shockingly good for you. They’re super high in fiber, phytonutrients and vitamins K and C. Mustard greens also naturally detox your blood and liver, and contain lots of antioxidants. Not to mention, this (very underrated, if you ask me) super veg helps lower cholesterol, making it great for heart health.* How’s that for cherry on top?
