6 Best Foods to Eat on The Mediterranean Diet

Pistachios

Pistachios are a plant-based source of protein, healthy fats, and fiber—three nutrients that help us feel satisfied. 

Walnuts

Walnuts can enhance the flavor and texture of just about any recipe while leaving you full and satisfied. 

Seafood

Seafood, particularly oily coldwater fish (like salmon), is a natural source of unique fatty acids referred to as long-chain omega-3 fatty acids. 

Watercress

Leafy greens are a dynamite addition to your Mediterranean Diet plate.

Pulses

Pulses are the edible seeds of plants in the legume family and include options like chickpeas, dry peas, and lentils.

Lean beef

Beef gets a bad rap, and technically when following the Mediterranean Diet, beef should be consumed in limited amounts.
