50 delicious Mediterranean recipes that taste like summer
Now that the spring weather has finally banished our winter blues, it's time to start thinking ahead to the even hotter months on the horizon. While it's not quite summer yet, you can get in the spirit with some very summery dishes—and there's one type of cuisine in particular that fits the bill. Mediterranean food is usually a light, airy option; synonymous with summer, but easily adapted for menus year-round.
These recipes generally feature ingredients like chickpeas, chicken, fish, eggplant, and other flavorful, nutrient-packed foods, but that's not all. A variety of vegetables, starches, spices, and meats can help you create the perfect Mediterranean dish or put a new spin on one of your go-to meals.
There's standard Mediterranean fare like hummus and kabobs; however, the same flavor can be incorporated into various dishes—some more adventurous than others. You can spice up everything—from pasta and salads to rice dishes and eggs—by giving them a little Mediterranean zing. It's incredible what a squirt of lemon, a hint of garlic, and olives can do to transform a recipe completely.
As summer comes to an end, Stacker compiled a list of Mediterranean recipes from Allrecipes that are sure to evoke thoughts of warmer, longer days. These options will satisfy vegetarians and meat lovers alike, and with 50 to choose from, there's truly something for everyone. Take a look below and start planning your next meal now.
