Ingredients:

For the yogurt sauce:

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

2 tbsp mayonnaise

1/2 tsp kosher salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp lemon juice

For the cucumber tomato salad:

1 cup grape tomatoes, diced

1/2 of a red onion, diced

2 Persian cucumbers, diced

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Juice of 1 lemon

3/4 tsp kosher salt

For the spinach pancakes:

2 eggs

2 cups (250 g) all purpose flour

2 cups milk

1/2 tsp kosher salt

3 tsp baking powder

3 cups (about 100 g) fresh spinach

1/4 cup fresh herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, and dill

1 tbsp olive oil, plus more for the pan

Directions:

1. Make the yogurt sauce by whisking together all ingredients until smooth. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill until ready to serve.
2. In a large bowl, stir together diced tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, parsley, lemon juice, and salt. Let marinate while you prepare the pancakes.
3. Combine all of the pancake ingredients in a large blender and blend on high speed until completely smooth and well combined, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Heat 1 tsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the pan is hot, pour in 1/4 cup of pancake batter and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the edges begin to dry and small bubbles form on the surface of the pancake. Flip the pancake, and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, until browned and cooked through. Remove the pancake from the pan and transfer to a plate. Repeat with the rest of the batter, adding another teaspoon of olive oil to the pan if needed to prevent sticking.
5. To serve, place two or three pancakes on a plate and top with a spoonful of cucumber tomato salad and a dollop of yogurt sauce. Garnish with fresh herbs.
6. Store leftover pancakes in a For Good Gallon Zipper Bag in the freezer.
