Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh spinach leaves
- 1 large Cucumber
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 1 medium Garlic clove, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
- 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
Instructions
Rinse the spinach leaves thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or salad spinner. Place the spinach in a large salad bowl.
Peel the cucumber if desired, then slice it thinly into rounds or half-moons. Add the cucumber to the salad bowl with the spinach.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, fresh dill, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined. This will be the dressing.
Drizzle the yogurt dressing over the spinach and cucumber mixture. Toss gently to coat the vegetables evenly with the dressing.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and thinly sliced red onion evenly over the top of the salad.
Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy as a light meal. Optionally, garnish with additional dill or a lemon wedge for presentation.
