This was so good! I made this to go with Greek chicken, and my husband went crazy for it. He was still talking about it a few days later. It was also fast and easy to prepare, which is a definite bonus! I'll definetely make this again. Thanks!

Very easy to make, and quick, but seemed to be a little lacking in flavor. I think more lemon juice and garlic are in order. I will make this recipe again, though.

Really good! I use frozen spinach to make it easier and then I keep the feta on the side so that family can have as much as they like. This recipe is the closest to spanakorizo listed.

This was very easy to make and came out almost as I had hoped. However, I found it a little bland and would probably add more feta cheese and/or lemon juice next time. Definitely worth making again.

I made this for Easter last year and my family loved it. We eat it with lamb kabobs. It is so easy and we love the flavor. My family requested it for this Easter. Thank you for this reipe. Leslie
