INGREDIENTS:
- Olive oil cooking spray
- 10 oz baby spinach (about 12 cups lightly packed)
- Sea salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste
- 3/4 cup 2% plain Greek yogurt
- 3 tbsp chopped fresh dill
- 2 green onions, finely chopped

INSTRUCTIONS:
- Arrange oven rack in bottom third of oven; preheat to 425°F.
- Mist a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat on medium-high. Add spinach and cook, stirring frequently, until just wilted, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then transfer to a plate and cool to room temperature.
- Meanwhile, prepare yogurt sauce: In a small bowl, combine yogurt, dill, green onions and garlic. Season with salt and pepper.
