    Greek Spinach Dip
    This savory spinach dip takes its flavor cues from spanakopita. Serve it with warm pita bread or crisp crudités.

    Recipe:

    Ingredients
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 1/4 cup roughly chopped shallots
    • 4 green onions, chopped
    • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
    • 12 ounces spinach leaves
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
    • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
    • 1 cup Greek yogurt
    • 1/2 cup finely crumbled feta cheese
    • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
    • Freshly ground black pepper

    Preparation
    1. Heat oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Add shallots, onions, and garlic and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add spinach and cook, stirring often, until wilted, about 2 minutes.
    2. Using a slotted spoon, scoop spinach into a food processor; pulse until roughly puréed, about 5 pulses. Add remaining ingredients except pepper, pulse once just to combine, then season to taste with pepper.

    Time: 20 minutes. Yield: 2 1/2 cups (serving size: 1/4 cup)
