Ingredients
Servings
6
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 cup walnuts, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh chives, finely chopped
- Optional
- pinch of smoked paprika for garnish
Instructions
-
Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
-
Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
-
Add chopped spinach and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until wilted and excess moisture evaporates.
-
Remove spinach from heat and transfer to a fine mesh sieve or paper towel-lined bowl. Press gently to remove any remaining liquid; set aside to cool.
-
In a medium mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
-
Once spinach has cooled, gently fold it into the yogurt mixture until evenly incorporated.
-
In a small bowl, mix chopped walnuts, dill, parsley, and chives to create the herb crumble.
-
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and sprinkle the walnut-herb crumble evenly on top.
-
Optionally, garnish with a pinch of smoked paprika for a subtle smoky flavor and visual contrast.
-
Serve immediately with gluten-free crackers, fresh vegetable sticks, or pita chips, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I meal prep Creamy Greek Yogurt Spinach Dip with Walnut and Herb Crumble?
- Yes. Portion it into airtight containers and keep toppings, sauces, or crunchy finishes separate when that will protect the texture.
- How can I increase the protein?
- Add a little more greek yogurt or pair the recipe with a compatible high-protein side such as Greek yogurt, eggs, tofu, beans, or lean meat depending on the recipe style.
- Can I make it lighter?
- Use measured oil, lighter dairy or sauce options, and a larger vegetable portion while keeping the main protein amount steady.
- What should I watch when swapping ingredients?
- Keep moisture, salt, and cooking time in mind because high-protein swaps can dry out or firm up faster than the original ingredient.
Storage
Cool Creamy Greek Yogurt Spinach Dip with Walnut and Herb Crumble before storing, refrigerate in airtight containers for up to 4 days, keep crisp toppings or fresh garnishes separate when useful, freeze only if the main ingredients tolerate thawing well, and reheat gently with a splash of liquid or a short oven, skillet, microwave, or air-fryer warm-up that matches the recipe texture.
