Creamy Spinach and Garlic Dressing

This creamy spinach and garlic dressing is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to salads, roasted vegetables, or grilled meats. It's made with just a few simple ingredients, and it's easy to make in a blender. The spinach gives the dressing a vibrant green color, and the garlic and lemon juice add a bright and tangy flavor. This dressing is a great way to add some extra nutrients to your meals, and it's also a delicious way to use up leftover spinach.

I first came up with this recipe when I was looking for a way to use up some leftover spinach. I had already made a batch of my go-to roasted vegetable salad, but I wanted to add something extra to give it a bit more flavor. I had some spinach in the fridge, so I decided to try making a dressing with it. I added some olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper to the spinach, and I blended it all together until it was smooth. The resulting dressing was delicious! It was creamy, tangy, and full of flavor. I've been using this dressing ever since, and it's always a hit with my family and friends.
