COVID-19 may have caused untold misery and suffering across the world, but it did bring about a few positive changes to our lives. Working from home has relieved the pressure of the daily commute for millions. Spending more time at home has brought families closer together. Eating at home instead of going out to restaurants has saved money and more importantly, resulted in healthier eating habits. The downside of eating at home instead of going to restaurants is that over time, the meals can become repetitive. This is not in criticism of those preparing the food. It is to acknowledge the fact that they are not bottomless wells of food recipes and that they too need a change from being in the kitchen. That raises the question – how do you eat healthy food that is also fresh and delectable? The quick and simple answer is to go to a Mediterranean deli.

Which Deli?

When people think of deli food, the images that come to mind are usually corned beef, pastrami, franks, all kinds of sandwiches, and so on. It may be tasty once in a while, but it's not the kind of food you can make a part of your regular diet. It's also not the healthiest food on the planet, is it? But why limit yourself to the traditional deli? There are great deli food options around today.
