I follow the Mediterranean diet. Here are 6 groceries I love to buy at Aldi and how I use them.
If you follow the Mediterranean diet, Aldi is a fantastic place to find affordable and high-quality staples. Here are six must-have groceries I always grab at Aldi—and how I use them.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Aldi’s affordable extra virgin olive oil is perfect for drizzling over salads, roasting vegetables, or making homemade vinaigrettes.
Canned Chickpeas
Chickpeas are a Mediterranean staple! I use them to make hummus, toss them in salads, or roast them for a crunchy snack.
Whole Wheat Pita Bread
This pairs well with hummus or tzatziki and makes a great base for Mediterranean-style wraps with grilled chicken and veggies.
Feta Cheese
Aldi’s Greek feta is creamy and tangy, perfect for Greek salads, stuffed peppers, or crumbled over roasted veggies.
Frozen Salmon
Rich in omega-3s, I bake or grill salmon and serve it with a side of quinoa and roasted vegetables.
Kalamata Olives
I add these to salads, pasta, or homemade tapenade for a salty, delicious Mediterranean touch.
