Method

Directions

Bring a large stockpot of water to a hard boil.
Wash the spinach, scallions, and dill. Do not cut the spinach. Chop the scallions into ⅓-inch bits. Rinse the feta through a strainer to wash off the brine and set aside.
Toss the scallions and dill into the boiling pot of water. Boil for 2 minutes before adding in the spinach. Stir
