Recipe Selection Criteria

  • Minimum 20 verified aggregate ratings from Schema.org AggregateRating data
  • Source must be an established Mediterranean diet authority (RD-authored, cookbook author, or peer-validated)
  • Must include full nutritional data and prep/cook times
  • Recipes must align with core Mediterranean diet principles:
  • extra-virgin-olive-oil as primary fat
  • legumes and vegetable emphasis
  • Minimal processed ingredients
  • Lean proteins and fish encouraged

Note: The Brunch Power Shake is a personal performance formula, not an externally sourced recipe. It is included for its alignment with the wiki's cardiovascular health principles — extra-virgin-olive-oil, omega-3 fatty acids from chia and hemp, fruit antioxidants, and yogurt — and does not follow the aggregate rating criteria above.
