Why This Recipe Works

Gather Your Ingredients

Before You Begin

*

We prefer the ease of prewashed baby spinach, sold in 5-ounce packages in most supermarkets. If you choose to use bunched baby spinach instead, make sure to wash and dry the leaves well

Instructions

1.

Place spinach in large bowl. Add oil, shallot, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and sugar to small skillet and cook over medium heat until shallot is slightly softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add lemon juice; swirl to incorporate. Pour warm dressing over spinach, add feta and olives, and toss gently to wilt. Serve immediately.
