What Is Borani?

To put it very simply, Borani Persian Yogurt Spinach Dip is a dip that is made from greek yogurt, spices, and flavorful vegetables.

This is one of those recipes that is so simple that I wonder about posting it, but the fact is, it was delicious. And if something is both easy and delicious, it’s definitely one of my favorite things.

When I make this Greek Yogurt Dip with Spinach, it generally doesn’t last longer than an afternoon. However, your family might not like to snack quite as much as mine. If you have extra to save for later, this dip will last up to two weeks in the refrigerator.
