Ingredients
  

For the Dip
  • 8 oz Feta Cheese Offers a rich creaminess and tang; try ricotta or goat cheese for a different flavor profile.
  • 2 cups Fresh Baby Spinach Brings nourishment and bright color; kale or Swiss chard can be substituted.
  • ½ cup Sliced Pepperoncini Peppers Adds a zesty, tangy flair; jalapeños or banana peppers will work well.
  • 2 tablespoon Olive Oil Infuses richness; avocado oil can be a wonderful alternative.
  • 3 cloves Minced Garlic Elevates flavor intensity; garlic powder can be a quick substitute.
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice Provides a necessary balance of acidity; white vinegar is a suitable substitute.
  • Salt and Pepper Essential for enhancing flavors.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a medium skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 3 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Toss in 2 cups of fresh baby spinach and stir until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Transfer the sautéed spinach mixture into a mixing bowl. Add 8 oz of crumbled feta cheese, ½ cup of sliced pepperoncini peppers, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then mix well.
  4. Spoon the dip mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Drizzle an additional tablespoon of olive oil over the top.
  5. Bake the dip in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden-brown on top.
  6. Allow the dip to cool for about 5 minutes before serving with pita chips or fresh vegetable sticks.
