Today’s recipe – this delicious Greek Spinach with White Beans and Feta – is the perfect way to add delicious, healthy flavor to any meal! In particular – I think this dish is a perfect accompaniment to any grilled chicken or beef dish!
This Greek Spinach with White Beans and Feta is made from ingredients that you likely already have in your refrigerator and pantry.
It’s made from a simple mix of fresh spinach, sautéed onions, garlic and mushrooms, plus canned white cannellini beans and stewed tomatoes, as well as herbs and seasonings. A final splash of fresh lemon juice and briny feta sprinkled on top gives this simple dish a bright, fresh finish!
This Greek Spinach with White Beans and Feta is quick and easy to prepare. Although it is meant to be served hot out of the skillet – it’s also delicious served at room temperature.

Hi Lisa – We’re slowing working our way through our 1500+ recipes adding nutritional information. I’ve just added the information to the bottom of the recipe card. Glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Anytime you put feta on a salad I’m bound to eat it alllllllll up! Plus it’s such a great use for white beans…yum!
This looks like such a lovely dinner salad and you’re right add some protein and it’s perfect. Love that salty feta touch on top.
A hot salad with easy prep? Sign me up! Feta, white beans, and spinach are such a delicious trio. Everything else just adds to the party.
Delicious! Love this on Meatless Monday, but I would also pack this up in Mason jars and enjoy it for lunch too!
This is such a great dish for picnics and BBQs! I always bring the sweets. Maybe I should switch things up and shock everyone by bringing this salad. 😀
This sounds like it would be the perfect lunch and a great way to get some beans in.
I love Greek flavors. I actually just got done making a Greek pasta salad. This will be next on my list1
Pinning this…It will make a wonderful lunch!
I’m so glad you posted this. Everytime I head to the grocery store I pick up a few extra cans of cannellini beans, I have no clue why! I never use them. Now I have a way to use those, um 20 cans in my pantry? And like you said, I have all these other ingredients on hand so I’m ready to go!
LOL Laura – I am the same – except it’s with chick peas. (At least those I can add to a salad…) Hope you enjoy the recipe!
