Hello, healthy food lovers!
Today, I’m excited to share a super simple yet incredibly delicious spinach salad that’s become a favorite in my kitchen. Spinach salads can be especially refreshing, but let’s be real—raw spinach can be a little tricky for some of us. Personally, I love my spinach gently softened, with rich flavors that elevate each bite. Plus, combining spinach with yogurt is an absolute winner for me! This recipe brings together all these flavors in the easiest way possible.

What is great about this easy spinach salad?
With just three main ingredients, this salad is ready in only 10 minutes. Whether you’re looking for a quick side dish or a healthy mezze to enjoy with a drink, this recipe has you covered. And if you’re vegan, you can easily skip the yogurt for a light, vibrant spinach salad with crisp garlic and bright lemon zest—trust me, it’s delicious either way!
What You’ll Need for Spinach Salad ?
- Fresh spinach (baby spinach works wonderfully)
- Garlic (for that savory crispiness)
- Lemon zest (for a fresh, zesty kick)
- Olive oil (for a smooth, rich base)
If you’re a fan of creamy salads, a dollop of yogurt really brings it all together, but the salad is just as tasty without it.
How to make this salad?
This is a very quick salad recipe to make. Take a large skillet, add olive oil, and heat it over medium. Add sliced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the spinach and cook just until softened—be careful not to overcook, as you want to keep the vibrant green color. It should take about 6-8 minutes. Once cooked, turn off the heat and add a pinch of salt and lemon zest for extra flavor.
How to Serve Your Spinach Salad?
There are so many ways to enjoy this versatile salad. Serve it as a classic green side salad alongside chicken, meat, or even a hearty fish dish. It pairs beautifully with creamy pasta too! Looking for a brunch idea? Spread this spinach salad on toasted bread and top with a poached egg for an easy breakfast toast. It’s not just a salad—it’s a great garnish or side that fits right in wherever you need a fresh burst of flavor.
