Spinach-Garlic Yogurt Recipe

Spinach-Garlic Yogurt Recipe

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 2 11-ounce packages baby spinach
  • 1 garlic clove, finely grated
  • 1 1/2 cups plain 2% fat Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • Kosher salt
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add half of spinach and cook, tossing often, until just wilted; transfer to a colander and let cool. Repeat with 1 tablespoon oil and remaining spinach. Squeeze spinach well to remove excess water, then coarsely chop.
  2. Mix chopped spinach, garlic, yogurt, cilantro, and remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a medium bowl; season with salt. Cover and chill at least 1 hour before serving.
  3. DO AHEAD: Spinach-garlic yogurt can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled (garlic flavor will intensify as it sits).
