plant-based + diet
The meaning 'a diet consisting mainly of foods derived from plants' is directly inferable from combining 'plant' (foods from plants) with the productive modifier 'based' (meaning 'originating from' or 'built on') plus 'diet'. This compositional pattern is common and cross-linguistically accessible, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words should be able to understand the MWE.
Etymology
The noun plant-based diet comes from the simple image of a diet built on plant foods, with based meaning 'built on'. Think of a plate of vegetables, grains and fruit as the base, and you can see why it means 'a way of eating mostly or only plants'.
