5-Day Mediterranean Diet Meal Plan

Use this simple, nutrient-dense meal plan for the Mediterranean Diet. To make it easier to follow, use leftovers from the previous night's meal for lunch the next day. Day 1 includes a sheet pan salmon recipe for dinner, use leftover salmon to top your salad for lunch the next day. Day 4 includes a White Bean and Potato Soup for dinner. You may want to delete the Black Bean Soup for lunch on Day 5 and instead just reheat leftovers. If you have additional foods that you can't tolerate, such as a dairy-intolerance, you can edit this meal plan and replace dairy recipes with similar dairy-free recipes, or simply omit the optional cheese in some of the recipes.
