Mediterranean recipes for busy family dinners

The Mediterranean diet is less a diet than a way of cooking: plenty of vegetables, beans and whole grains, fish a few times a week, olive oil, herbs and a little cheese. These recipes keep it weeknight-simple.

What Gluten watches for: nothing in particular: it’s a pattern, not a restriction list. Gluten adds swaps for anyone at the table who needs one.
