Ingredients
  

Salad Ingredients
  • 5 ounces baby spinach
  • 6 ounces Greek feta, crumbled (about 1 cup)
  • 1 lemon, halved
  • 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 package potato gnocchi (16- to 17-ounce, shelf-stable, fresh or frozen)
  • ? to ? teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 1 handful chopped dill
  • 1 handful chopped mint

Equipment

  • large bowl
  • Cast iron skillet
  • spoons for tossing

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Place the spinach into a large bowl. Add half of the feta, juice of ? lemon, 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a big pinch of salt; rub the ingredients vigorously into the spinach to tenderize it. Leave to sit and soften further while you cook the gnocchi.
  2. Heat a large (about 12-inch) cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high; add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the gnocchi to the pan, breaking up any that are stuck together. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, tossing every 2 minutes, until golden and crispy all over. Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes; they will further crisp as they cool.
  3. Add the gnocchi to the spinach, along with the red pepper, scallions, dill and mint. Drizzle with about 2 tablespoons of olive oil, add the remaining crumbled feta and toss to combine. Squeeze the remaining lemon juice over top and serve.
