Best Of The Mediterranean
You don’t need plane tickets to get a taste of the Mediterranean… just a few of your favorite DeLallo ingredients.
Why do we love Mediterranean cuisine? It’s simple. Not only are authentic Mediterranean meals loaded with big, bright flavors, but they’re good for you too. (We’re sure you’ve heard all about the benefits of a heart-healthy Mediterranean diet?) As warm and inviting as the Mediterranean itself, the culinary tradition of this region features ingredients such as sunny citrus, bitter oils, briny olives, eggplant, earthy legumes and artichokes—just to name a few.
Summer is the perfect season to celebrate the bright and colorful flavors of the Mediterranean. We’ve gathered up some of our favorites (a few classics and a few new recipes) to share with you.
