The Mediterranean diet is one of the healthiest ways to eat and our budget Mediterranean recipes are not only healthy but easy on your wallet. They use affordable ingredients that are as delicious as they are nutritious.
Mediterranean diet recipes can often be budget-friendly choices because they tend to include whole plant-based foods, such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds. If fish and seafood are in the recipes, it can be more costly. Other proteins typically eaten on the diet, such as poultry, eggs, and dairy, are only eaten in moderation. Mediterranean meals with these ingredients are still typically less expensive than those that contain a lot of meat. They're also cheaper than processed, convenience, or takeout foods.
Not only are the simple Mediterranean recipes we share below low cost but they're also delicious. Our team of chefs and dietitians have pulled together our most popular Mediterranean-inspired recipes so you can eat healthy food that tastes great while saving money. From vibrant bean salads to seafood and vegetable dishes, each of these inexpensive Mediterranean diet recipes is sure to become a family favorite.
