Steps:
- Steam baby spinach until just wilted.
- Drain well and chop fine.
- Mince 1/2 medium clove garlic and saute in 1 tbs unrefined extra virgin olive oil, then add the chopped spinach and a pinch or two sea salt. Stir.
- Remove from stove and allow to cool, then squeeze out excess liquid.
- Toast chopped walnuts in a dry frying pan until fragrant. Be careful not to burn! Set aside to cool.
- In a bowl and the yogurt, other half minced garlic, baby spinach, and dried mint and sea salt to taste, stir gently.
- Transfer to the bowl you are serving it in (I use a shallow, round bowl) and sprinkle with toasted, chopped walnuts and a trail of unrefined extra virgin olive oil.
- Serve with lavash (flatbread from Iran) or "some crisped-up-in-the-oven whole wheat pita bread!" (Yes we don't do that being gluten free! I use more yogurt and serve this as a salad to mix with Middle Eastern rice dishes.).
- Enjoy!
