Deconstructed Healthy Spanakopita
Deconstructed Healthy Spanakopita is the perfect salad to make when your fridge is empty and you want a healthy meal. It takes no time to prepare and is great for a weekday lunch. Make sure you take the extra step to heat the feta as it makes it melty and intensifies the flavors of the oregano and pepper. My friend Gina (a different one than the Gina that qualified for Boston!!) reminded me that in Greece they sometimes bake feta with spices and I had completely forgotten how delicious it is. I am happy that I tried it because this dish is going to become a staple in my home. Try it and let me know what you think!
Deconstructed Healthy Spanakopita
Serves 1
Ingredients:
1 oz traditional Athenos feta
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp black pepper
dash hot red pepper
1 box frozen spinach, defrosted
1 small Mission whole wheat wrap
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Put your feta in a piece of foil, top with the oregano, pepper, and red pepper and seal in the foil. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes. Meanwhile heat the spinach in a medium pot and drain well. Toast the wrap and then break into pieces. Place the spinach at the bottom of a bowl, top with the feta and serve with the toasted wrap pieces. Enjoy!

Sabrina, I found your blog a few months ago when searching for a fun app for a small wine/cheese party, and I’ve been a daily reader ever since. I love your approach to exercise, eating and healthy living. This recipe in particular looks awesome, as I LOVE spanakopita, but dread the heaviness of the “real” thing. Thank you

This almost looks like dip, haha! It sounds really delicious, and spinach and feta are of course an unbelievably awesome combination, especially when the feta is all warm and soft
You’re finding some great ways to utilize your feta in this challenge. Great work!

Oh smart! And then it can be gluten-free, too, because you can use any kind of bread-like side!
