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!
