Hi, !
Spring is finally in the air, and with the changing season comes a natural craving for brighter, lighter meals. This week, we are taking a delicious detour to the Mediterranean with a menu inspired by vibrant Greek flavors. These recipes are the perfect way to welcome the new season.
Easy Spanakopita: These flaky, savory spinach and feta pastries are a beautiful addition to any holiday table. With layers of crispy phyllo dough and a rich, herby filling, it is surprisingly simple to put together and always a crowd-pleaser. I also have a wonderful recipe for vegan spanakopita that is just as delicious and perfectly parve!
Greek Salad Quinoa Bowl: This healthy, vegetarian bowl is the perfect lunch or light spring dinner. Lemon dill quinoa and chickpeas make a protein-filled base for fresh, crunchy lettuce, cucumbers, sweet tomatoes, briny kalamata olives, and creamy feta.
Yiaourti Me Meli: This simple Greek dessert proves that you don't need to turn on the oven to make a spectacular, satisfying treat on a warm spring day. Made with cool, creamy Greek yogurt, walnuts, cinnamon, and honey, it is a no-bake dish that is naturally gluten-free and packed with protein.
Kourabiedes (Greek Butter Cookies): I am honored to share this authentic recipe for Rena Carasso's Kourabiedes, which appears in the Holocaust Survivor Cookbook. These traditional buttery, delicately flaky, and melt-in-your-mouth cookies are a wonderful dairy treat to pair with your afternoon coffee.
I hope these Greek-inspired dishes bring a wave of fresh spring flavor to your table this week.
I'd love to know—are you planning to make the quinoa bowl for your weekday lunches or a family dinner? Let me know on Instagram.
With warmth and gratitude,
Tori
