Ingredients
For the dip:
- 3/4 cup walnuts (finely chopped for better texture)
- 1/2 cup chopped parsley
- 1 clove garlic (freshly minced for best flavor)
- 1 tsp dried mint
- 2 cups baby spinach
- black pepper (freshly ground for more aroma)
- kosher salt
- 2 tbsp olive oil (I recommend California Olive Ranch Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed preferred)
- 2 cups plain greek yogurt (whole milk for a richer dip)
For serving:
- fresh vegetables (like carrots, bell peppers, or cucumbers)
- homemade pita chips
Step 1: Blanch the Spinach
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
Meanwhile, prepare a bowl of iced water and keep it nearby.
Add the spinach to the boiling water and cook for about 10 seconds.
Using a pair of tongs, transfer the spinach to the iced water immediately to stop the cooking process.
Allow it to cool for a couple of minutes, then drain the spinach well and wring out any excess water.
Step 2: Prepare the Spinach Mixture
In a mixing bowl, combine the blanched spinach with yogurt, walnuts, garlic, lemon juice, parsley, and mint.
Season with a good dash of kosher salt and black pepper.
Add a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, about 2 tablespoons, and mix everything together thoroughly.
Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning as necessary.
Step 3: Serve and Enjoy
Transfer the spinach mixture to a serving dish.
Serve it alongside your favorite fresh veggies and homemade pita chips.
Enjoy this healthy and delicious dish as a snack or an appetizer!
