Ingredients

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 shallot thinly sliced
1-2 cloves garlic thinly sliced
¼ red bell pepper thinly sliced into 1 inch strips
salt and pepper to taste
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
¾ cup 2% Greek yogurt
8 ounces baby spinach

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium high heat. Add the shallots, red pepper and garlic and saute until softened and lightly golden, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in the mustard and yogurt until the yogurt melts into a saucy consistency. Add the spinach and toss until it just wilts and is fully coated in the sauce, about 2 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Transfer to a bowl and serve immediately.
