Instructions

  1. Steam baby spinach until just wilted.
  2. Drain well and chop fine.
  3. 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.
  4. Remove from stove and allow to cool, then squeeze out excess liquid.
  5. Toast chopped walnuts in a dry frying pan until fragrant. Be careful not to burn! Set aside to cool.
  6. In a bowl and the yogurt, other half minced garlic, baby spinach, and dried mint and sea salt to taste, stir gently.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.).
  9. Enjoy!
