Spinach and Feta Saute
Recipes • Side Dishes •
I love Greek food and I’m especially a big fan of feta cheese. I swear, I put Athenos reduced-fat feta on everything. Salads, pizza, sammiches… whatever. I came across this recipe on WW for something so simple: spinach. I like spinach, but I don’t normally eat it by itself. I’ll have some in something else or maybe a spinach salad, but not ever really just as a side-dish n’ such. This is only 2 points and it’s easy, which really, for me, what it’s all about. Oh, also? I squeezed a little fresh lemon juice in there, too. It made it taste like the Spanicopita, just without the flakey phillo pastry.
If you try it, let me know what you think!
