Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound spinach, tough stems discarded
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 1/2 cups Greek yogurt
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest, plus 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 bunch watercress, coarsely chopped, plus small sprigs for garnish
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
8 ounces assorted heads baby lettuce, leaves separated, for serving

Steps:

  • Wash spinach; drain, but do not dry. Transfer to a large stockpot. Cover, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a clean kitchen towel, and squeeze out excess liquid. Let cool slightly; coarsely chop. Set aside.
  • Heat oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate, and let cool slightly.
  • Whisk together yogurt and lemon zest and juice in a medium bowl. Stir in spinach, onion, and watercress; season with salt and pepper. Garnish with watercress sprigs, and serve with lettuce leaves for dipping.

This dip was good, but I think it would have been better with a little more garlic. I also added some chopped walnuts, which gave it a nice crunch.

This is the best spinach dip I've ever had! The watercress adds a really nice flavor and the feta cheese makes it so creamy. I will definitely be making this again and again.

This dip was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning. I added some garlic powder and onion powder, and it was much better.
