Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb fresh spinach
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small onion, minced
ground cinnamon (optional)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup drained yogurt (see "Draining Yogurt" box)
2 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped of fresh mint or 1 tablespoon dill
