Each cultural cuisine has its own version of a stuffed pastry with fillings. And what can you expect of Greek cuisine, if not a super light and delightfully cheesy phyllo dough pastry? The Tzaziki dip will tingle your tongue while keeping everything light.

Prep Time 30 minutes

Serves: 10

Difficulty Level: Low

Spanakopita- Greek Appetizers

Ingredients for Tzaziki dip:

Yogurt - 1/2 cup

Cucumber - 1 (grated)

Olive oil - 2 tbsp.

Lemon juice - 1 tsp.

Dill - 1 tbsp. (chopped)

Garlic - 1 clove (minced)

Salt and Pepper - as needed

Ingredients for pastries:

Onions - 1/2 (chopped)

Garlic - 1 clove (minced)

Spinach - 10.5 oz. (shredded)

Cumin - 1 tsp.

Feta cheese - 3.5 oz.

Phyllo dough - 6-8 sheets

Olive oil - as needed

Salt and Pepper - as needed

Method of preparing the Tzaziki dip:

Drain the cucumber grates. Mix all ingredients together and let sit until serving.

Method of preparing the pastries:

Preheat oven to 400°F. Sauté the onion and garlic until golden brown.
Add the spinach and cumin and fry for 7-8 minutes, until steaming. Let cool.
Pour the spinach mixture into a bowl and add the feta cheese.
Cut long strips of the dough, 2 inches wide. Brush one sheet with olive oil and stack another on top. Place a dollop of the spinach mixture in the middle, fold into a triangle and keep folding over and over until you finish the strip. Keep doing so until you finish the filling.
Brush a baking dish with oil and arrange the triangles evenly spaced. Bake 10 minutes or until golden brown.
