Wilted Spinach Salad With Warm Feta Dressing
Recipe GLPR2fb365eb5f79b6
A warm and elegant Greek-inspired salad featuring tender fresh spinach dressed in a savory warm feta vinaigrette. Caramelized onion wedges add depth and sweetness, while crumbled feta cheese melts into the warm olive oil and vinegar base, creating a luxurious dressing that wilts the delicate greens. This simple yet sophisticated dish is naturally vegetarian and works beautifully as a side or light main course.

Ingredients
9 ounces Fresh spinach leaves
5 tablespoons Olive oil
1 Medium onion, cut into wedges
7 ounces Crumbled feta cheese
2 tablespoons Sherry wine vinegar
Directions
Place the fresh spinach in a large bowl and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion wedges and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become softened and lightly caramelized.
Remove the skillet from heat. Add the crumbled feta cheese to the warm oil and onions, then pour in the Sherry wine vinegar. Stir gently until the feta begins to soften and incorporate into the warm dressing.
Pour the warm feta dressing and onions over the spinach in the bowl. Toss gently but thoroughly until the spinach is evenly coated and begins to wilt from the residual heat.
Divide the wilted spinach among four serving plates and drizzle any remaining warm dressing from the bowl over each portion. Serve immediately while still warm.
Comments
Every ingredient is stocked at every major Charlotte chain, and the whole dish runs under $8 for four servings—spinach and onion are cheap, feta is reasonable, and you're not buying specialty items. The 18-minute claim is honest: ten minutes for prep and eight to build the dressing and wilt the greens, with no hidden steps. It's a no-fuss side that doesn't demand attention, though as a salad it needs to be eaten the same night rather than reheated, which is a minor limitation for planning purposes.
