You can put together a batch of onions,<br> cucumbers,<br> cherry tomatoes,<br> red bell peppers,<br> carrots,<br> beans and olives and keep all of them in your fridge. **Hold back on the EVO,<br> bringing that to your work place or school separately and adding it to this healthy Greek salad afterwards.**\n\n### This video talks about using the Mediterranean Diet to Lose Weight\n\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=YCk0FQMOejk\/0\n\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/YCk0FQMOejk\/0.jpg\" \nalt=\"Mediterranean Diet\" width=\"240\" height=\"180\" border=\"10\" \/><\/a><\/center>\n\n## Salmon and Hummus Spinach Wrap\n\nIn separate bags,<br> put a whole-grain tortilla,<br> pre-cooked salmon,<br> chopped kale or spinach,<br> and hummus.
