Spanakopita is a traditional Greek dish made of phyllo dough filled with a mixture of chopped spinach, feta cheese, and herbs, typically including dill, parsley, and sometimes green onions or leeks. The filling is seasoned with salt, pepper, and sometimes lemon juice or zest, and is then wrapped in the delicate and flaky layers of phyllo dough. Spanakopita is often served as a side dish or appetizer, but can also be enjoyed as a main dish with a side salad. The dish is popular in Greece, as well as among Greek communities around the world, and is a staple of Greek cuisine, reflecting the country's long history of cultivating and using spinach and feta cheese in its cooking.
