Ingredients
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon 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 red pepper flakes
1 10-ounce bag cleaned spinach
2 pitas
Directions
- Heat oven to 400º F. Toss the tomatoes with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Arrange the tomatoes, cut-side up, on a baking sheet. Bake until they are just softened, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the Feta, yogurt, lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt; set aside.
- Place a medium skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 tablespoon of the olive oil to the skillet. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is softened and just turning golden. Add the spinach and the remaining salt.
- Cook, tossing occasionally, until the spinach is just wilted, about 4 minutes.
- Brush both sides of the pitas with the remaining olive oil. Place in the 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-Feta sauce on top and serve.
