1 tablespoon minced garlic

12 ounces spinach leaves

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon zest

2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

1 cup Greek yogurt

1/2 cup finely crumbled feta cheese

2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

Freshly ground black pepper

Heat oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Add shallots, onions, and garlic and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add spinach and cook, stirring often, until wilted, about 2 minutes.

Using a slotted spoon, scoop spinach into a food processor; pulse until roughly puréed, about 5 pulses. Add remaining ingredients except pepper, pulse once just to combine, then season to taste with pepper.
