The perfect salad to make for a spring gathering. Finely chopping the spinach helps you get more in every bite, and combining it with fresh herbs adds pops of flavor to keep you going back for more. Serve it with chips and you just made the easiest spanikopita ever.
Ingredients
1 5 oz. package spinach (or 1 large bunch)
¾ cup fresh parsley
½ cup fresh dill
6 scallions, light green and white parts
5 minicucumbers
3 tablespoons olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
½ teaspoon salt
Few turns black pepper
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 garlic clove, grated
1 cup Bulgarian feta
Directions
Wash the spinach well, then finely chop and add it to a bowl. If you’re using fresh spinach, cut off the stems first.
Finely chop the parsley and dill, then combine with the spinach.
Trim the scallions and finely chop the light green and white parts, then add to the bowl.
Chop the cucumbers as small as you can (I like ⅛” pieces), and add them to the bowl.
Add the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, vinegar, and garlic to the bowl and mix well to combine and get the dressing evenly distributed.
Crumble the feta on top and gently stir to incorporate. Serve with chips or as a side.
