Following the Mediterranean diet can have a host of health benefits, including a reduced risk of cancer. Studies suggest that the Mediterranean diet may help reduce the risk of overall cancer mortality, as well as several specific cancer types including colorectal, breast, stomach, pancreas, prostate, and lung cancer. By incorporating staples of the Mediterranean diet like vegetables, seeds, whole grains, fish, and extra virgin olive oil into your diet on a regular basis, you may be able to improve your overall health.
In honor of International Mediterranean Diet Month this May and National Women's Health Week, we’ve collaborated with MightyMeals—a chef-prepared healthy meal delivery company—to bring you a fresh, flavorful recipe that makes it easy to get the nutritional benefits of the Mediterranean diet in a deliciously simple bowl.

Not only is it tasty and good for you—it’s incredibly easy to make! With a base of SIMPLi Regenerative Organic Certified® Tri-Color Quinoa, MightyMeals A La Carte Salmon, and MightyMeals A La Carte Vegetable Medley, the only prep required is cooking the quinoa and making the dressing.
