The Mediterranean Lifestyle

The Mediterranean Lifestyle is the only magazine focused on promoting the entire Mediterranean region and its celebrated lifestyle, an exemplary way of life that showcases an authentic, culturally rich and diverse approach to all aspects of life. Health, Happiness and Longevity are the strongest resulting benefits and therefore our main focus, besides the Mediterranean Diet, Travel, Culture and more. Every issue provides content that is both, helpful and entertaining. That's why every issue is packed with unique and interesting content written by journalists, book authors, scientists, medical professionals and authorities in their fields, but also passionate people who live this lifestyle every day. We not only want to encourage people to travel the region and learn more about it, but also to live this way of life.

Grilled Eggplant Caprese Salad

Curried Quinoa Salad with Red Apple, Pomegranate & Almonds • I ALWAYS USED TO PUT QUINOA IN SAUCES, OR TO COOK IT, BUT NEVER DIRECTLY. IT WAS BECAUSE OF A SALAD I TASTED IN A RESTAURANT THAT MADE ME THINK ABOUT HOW TO GIVE IT THIS NEW USE. AFTER MANY TESTS, I HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT I LIKE IT BEST IN A QUINOA SALAD, SINCE I AM A BIG FAN OF QUINOA IN DRESSINGS, BUT IT CAN ALSO BE USED WITH COUSCOUS. HOWEVER, I HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS SALAD WITH ITS ACID TOUCH THANKS TO THE RED APPLE AND THE POMEGRANATE AND ITS CRUNCHY TOUCH WITH THE ALMONDS.

Apricot & Burrata Salad with Mustard and Honey Vinaigrette • THE RICH AND CREAMY BURRATA TEXTURE PAIRS BEAUTIFULLY WITH THE SWEET AND SOUR APRICOTS FLAVOR IN THIS SUPER EASY SUMMER SALAD. TASTY, LIGHT, AND SO FRESH!

Easy Coleslaw Salad • CRUNCHY CABBAGE, GRATED CARROTS AND FRESH HERBS CREATE A MIXTURE OF FLAVORS AND TEXTURES THAT COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER PERFECTLY, MAKING THIS SALAD A REFRESHING AND SATISFYING DISH. WHETHER SERVED AS A SIDE OR AS A MAIN COURSE, COLESLAW IS A DELICIOUS ADDITION TO ANY MEAL. EASY, QUICK AND SUPER TASTY!
