Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 teaspoons plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
8 cups (packed) fresh spinach leaves (about 5 ounces)
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
2 6-inch-diameter pita breads
Assorted raw vegetables

Steps:

  • Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic; sauté 10 seconds. Add spinach; sauté until wilted and tender, about 2 minutes. Cool.
  • Puree spinach and green onions in processor. Transfer to medium bowl. Mix in sour cream and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and chill.
  • Preheat broiler. Slice each pita bread horizontally in half, forming 2 circles. Cut each circle into 4 triangles. Place triangles in single layer on baking sheet. Lightly brush pita triangles with 2 tablespoons oil. Sprinkle with pepper. Broil until golden, watching closely to avoid burning and moving triangles on baking sheet to brown evenly, about 2 minutes. Cool. (Dip and pita triangles can be made 1 day ahead. Keep dip chilled. Store pita in airtight container.)
  • Serve dip with pita triangles and assorted raw vegetables.

Tips:

  • For the olive relish, use a variety of olives to create a more complex flavor. Kalamata, Niçoise, and Castelvetrano olives are all good choices.
  • If you don't have time to make the olive relish ahead of time, you can use store-bought tapenade instead.
  • Be sure to use a sharp knife to cut the pita bread into triangles. This will help prevent the bread from tearing.
  • If you don't have a baking sheet, you can use a large skillet instead. Just be sure to grease the skillet well so that the pita bread doesn't stick.
  • Watch the pita bread closely while it's baking. It can burn quickly, so be sure to remove it from the oven as soon as it's golden brown.
  • Serve the pita triangles with the olive relish and your favorite dipping sauce. Tzatziki sauce, hummus, or baba ganoush are all good choices.

Conclusion:

Pita triangles with olive relish are a delicious and easy appetizer that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or simply as a snack. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a tasty dish that's sure to impress your guests.
