A balanced variety is the secret to making any meal great — A lesson I learned during our time in Paros, Greece. Each dinner offered a variety of small plates, where we’d enjoy fresh vegetables, warmed breads & rices, and all the spreads one could ever ask for.
But enjoying a variety doesn’t mean you have to spend hours in the kitchen.
While the plate has a variety of ingredients and flavors, we’re relying on a few essentials to make this dish an easy, gluten-free weeknight dinner. One ingredient that’s speeding up cooking time and elevating the dish is this creamy vegan tzatziki from Trader Joe’s that Jessie Pagliari recommended. It’s great on bowls, roasted veggies, and gluten-free rolls or pita too!
This recipe is 4 servings, making it great for a leftover lunch the next day. And if you want to save more time? Consider doubling the recipe and enjoying a taste of the Mediterranean all week long.
After all, the Mediterranean diet is considered one of the most nourishing in the world — emphasizing variety, fiber, and healthy fats to make every meal work towards your greater health goals.
I hope you enjoy knowing both your taste buds and your health are loving this delicious, Mediterranean dish!
