Spinach with Feta Dressing

[heart_this] · Mar 4, 2008 · 23 Comments

Spinach with Feta Dressing

I often find myself thinking that dinner is just not complete without a green vegetable. One of my favorite green vegetables is spinach and I decided to have some with my lemon roasted chicken dinner . Since I was going with some Greek flavours with the rest of the meal I decided go continue with the theme for the spinach. This spinach was inspired by the spinach filling of spanakopita . The spinach was pretty tasty. I really enjoyed the spinach, feta, lemon and dill flavour combination. I will be making this again and now I really need want to try making the spanakopita.

    That looks like such an obvious and simple combination, but I don’t think I would have come up with it on my own. I’ll have to remember that one day this week since we still have some fresh spinach left for salads and such.

    That looks and sounds great. I love Spanekopita, but haven’t yet dared to try myself at making them. Maybe if you go first?!

    I agree with the green vegetable thing. I have never thought of putting feta with spinach, that sounds great. With a steak, ooooh, how perfect that would be.

    Great ingenuity Kevin! I have no doubt you’ll master spanikopita which is simply overcoming the fear of working with phyllo. I can’t wait to see your finished product.
