Spinach-Yogurt Dip with Fried Mint
Spinach-Yogurt Dip with Fried Mint is a tasty and healthy dip made with Greek yogurt, fresh spinach, garlic, and topped with fried mint!
Ingredients
- 1 cup Walnuts
- 8 ounces Fresh baby spinach (10 cups)
- 6 tbsp Olive oil
- 1/2 cup Yellow onion, chopped
- 2 garlic Cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp Dried mint
- 3 cups Plain Whole Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
- salt and pepper to taste
- Radish, pita chips, cucumbers, for dippers
Instructions
- In a medium skillet preheated to medium heat add the walnuts. Toss the walnuts in the skillet until golden brown about five minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet add a tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add in half of the spinach and cook, stirring until mostly wilted. Place the wilted spinach in a bowl full of water and ice to stop the cooking process. Repeat process with remaining spinach.
- Next, drain and squeeze the spinach. You will want to take a towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Take the spinach and finely chop it.
- Wipe out the skillet that you cooked the spinach in and preheat that skillet to medium heat. Add in 2 tbsp of olive to the skillet, onion, and garlic. Cook the onion and garlic until softened about two to 3 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a small bowl.
- In the same skillet as you cooked the onion, add in the rest of the olive oil. Bring the skillet to medium heat and then stir in the dried mint. Remove the skillet from the heat and pour the mixture into a small bowl and season with salt and pepper.
- Lastly, in a large bowl combine the yogurt, lemon juice, onion mixture, half of the toasted walnuts, and reserved spinach. Season with salt and pepper. Place the spinach-yogurt mixture into a serving bowl and top with fried mint and the rest of the walnuts. Serve with dippers and enjoy!
