This light, tangy yogurt accompaniment wakes up any dish. You can swap in one 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach for the fresh; just thaw and squeeze well before stirring into yogurt.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 6 servings

Ingredients

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 11-ounce packages baby spinach
1 garlic clove, finely grated
1 1/2 cups plain 2% fat Greek yogurt
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
Kosher salt

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add half of spinach and cook, tossing often, until just wilted; transfer to a colander and let cool. Repeat with 1 tablespoon oil and remaining spinach. Squeeze spinach well to remove excess water, then coarsely chop.

    Step 2

    Mix chopped spinach, garlic, yogurt, cilantro, and remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a medium bowl; season with salt. Cover and chill at least 1 hour before serving.

    Step 3

    DO AHEAD: Spinach-garlic yogurt can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled (garlic flavor will intensify as it sits).
