    Greek Yogurt Creamed Spinach

    Greek Yogurt Creamed Spinach

    Okay, so the best and most festive time of the year is officially over. How did you spend Christmas? I promised my self I will stay away from my laptop for these 2 days and enjoy the holidays.

    The first day I was really biting my nails so I won't hit the power button on my laptop. But the second day of Christmas I was even glad about my decision. I spent most of the day laying on the couch with the worst wine-hangover from the previous night.

    Pssst don't miss out my Greek Yogurt Mashed Potatoes.

    I'm sad that Christmas is over, but I'm glad it lasts for only two days. All the food, sweets and drinks make you feel a bit stuffed and sick to your stomach in the end. Don't they? And I know, I know, New Year's is still to come, but there's still time for some detox right?

    This Greek Yogurt Creamed Spinach is all you need (and I need) right now. It's healthy, nutritious, delish, takes only 5 minutes to make, and you can enjoy it in a million different ways. Here are a few:

    • On top of your rice or pasta
    • In a wrap or sandwich
    • On top of a pizza dough+cheese
    • As a dip served with pita chips
    • And of course as a side dish

    What Spinach To Use To Make Creamed Spinach

    You may use fresh or frozen. I personally prefer using fresh baby spinach that doesn't need much cooking and has a lighter flavor.

    And here's how you make it...

    Heat a non-stick pan with olive oil, cook onion & garlic until soft. Add spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the Greek yogurt and fresh dill. And that's it.

    If you want to eat it like a Greek, serve it with a few drops of freshly squeezed lemon juice on top. Because we like to put lemon in almost everything, except Tzatziki (and I will mention that every chance I get). But also, because it adds a nice boost of flavor by enhancing the slightly sour taste of the Greek yogurt. And after all, we were talking about Detox remember?

    By the way, what are you cooking for New Years Dinner? I was thinking of Slow Cooked Lamb or even continue the detox-ing with a healthy lamb stew. I'll think about it. Until then, see u soon xxx
