This time of year, I like to take advantage of the nice weather and entertain outside, especially for Easter. This month, I put together an outdoor brunch menu inspired by the Mediterranean Diet. This diet balances lean proteins, whole grains and fresh veggies—making it ideal for creating a healthy, fresh and flavorful springtime brunch to share with family.

On the menu

Poached Eggs Over Grilled Tomatoes Topped with Chimichurri Sauce

Spring Green and Mixed Berry Salad with Savory Granola

Carrot Cake Pancakes
