As August stretches on with long, golden evenings and produce at its peak, it's the perfect time to bring fresh, Mediterranean-inspired meals to the table. This week's dinner plan is centered around the Mediterranean Diet-simple, wholesome recipes filled with summer vegetables, lean proteins, healthy fats, and vibrant flavors.

Enjoy three Mediterranean dishes perfect for Spring Sheet Pan Dinners in 30 Minutes: a Greek salad with feta, a mixed salad with chicken and olives, and a vegetable frittata with goat cheese, served with fresh greens and cherry tomatoes.

Whether you're savoring a slice of frittata on the patio or piling roasted vegetables onto your plate midweek, each dish makes the most of the season. And yes, there's even a little zucchini-sweet treat to bake and enjoy in the morning (or any time of day).

Here's what we're cooking this week.
