Total Time:
Ingredients
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- kosher salt
- 4 ounces crumbled Feta cheese
- 2/3 cup plain yogurt
- juice of half a lemon
- 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1 10-ounce package spinach
- 2 pitas
Directions
- Heat oven to 400º F. Toss the tomatoes with 1 tablespoon oil and ¼ teaspoon salt. Arrange, cut-side up, on a baking sheet. Bake until just softened, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the Feta, yogurt, lemon juice, and ¼ teaspoon of the salt. Set aside.
- Heat ½ tablespoon oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is softened and golden, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the spinach and ½ teaspoon salt. Cook, tossing occasionally, until the spinach is wilted, about 4 minutes.
- Brush both sides of the pitas with the remaining ½ tablespoon oil. Place in oven and heat until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes per side. (You can also do this on a medium-hot grill.)
- Place the pitas on plates. Top with the spinach and tomatoes. Drizzle the yogurt sauce on top.

Quick Tip
Crumbled Feta sold in supermarkets can be dry, flavorless, and treated with additives. It’s worth buying a block of cheese
and crumbling it yourself.

FRESH PICK
Cranberries
High in vitamin C, these hard, tart berries are grown in bogs in colder regions of North America and Europe. They’re almost
always eaten cooked, as in the classic Thanksgiving relish.
