Navigating the Mezze Platter: Endometriosis-Friendly Greek Delights

Dining out with endometriosis often feels like a culinary minefield, especially when faced with unfamiliar dishes. Greek mezze—a vibrant spread of small plates—can still be enjoyed while respecting inflammation-conscious needs. With mm food's dietary restriction scanner and translation tools, you can confidently navigate menus and savor gut-friendly Mediterranean flavors.

Why Greek Mezze Works for Endo Warriors

Greek cuisine emphasizes fresh vegetables, olive oil, and lean proteins aligned with anti-inflammatory diets. Avoid common endometriosis triggers like dairy, gluten, red meat, and processed oils by focusing on these safe options:

Safe Mezze Stars

• Grilled Octopus: Rich in anti-inflammatory omega-3s. Ask for minimal oil.
• Dolmades (Vegan): Grape leaves stuffed with rice and herbs—skip meat-containing versions.
• Horiatiki (No Feta): Tomato-cucumber-onion salad with olives and olive oil. Hold the cheese.
• Fasolakia: Braised green beans in tomato sauce—packed with fiber.
• Melitzanosalata: Roasted eggplant dip with lemon and garlic (verify no dairy).

Smart Swaps & Cautions

• Choose lemon juice over creamy tzatziki
• Avoid fried cheese (saganaki) and processed meats like loukaniko sausage
• Request olive oil instead of butter for grilled dishes
