I didn't measure anything and used fresh spinach. This tastes just as good as I've had in restaurants & I didn't even add the cheese.

What a very tasty dish! I made as directed only using fresh spinach for the frozen. I love the mixture all together especially with the feta cheese that melted on top...we ate it all. Thank you for posting. Made for Mays Diabetic Forum Greens for Spring 2012.

This was great! I used 2 tablespoons of lemon juice because I lacked zest. Next time I plan to use chopped onion because my boyfriend does not share my enthusiasm for pearl onions.

I used a diced onion instead of the pearl onion and topped with tzatziki sauce. Mmmmmmm

made according to recipe, only substitution was fresh swiss chard from our garden. We are having a bumper crop this year, so are using several spinach recipes -- but chard is so much more flavorful and the consistancy is so much more appealing than spinach -- no slimy, cooked-down sensation in your mouth. Thanks for posting, Jules211.
