1 ounce young spinach leaves (1 cup, firmly packed)

1 ½ teaspoons ground coriander seed
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Bring enough water to a boil to cover the spinach and parsley, and blanch them for 5 seconds. Drain, and run under cold water; squeeze dry in a dish towel.

In a food processor with the motor running, put the garlic through the feed tube, and mince. Add the spinach, parsley and cilantro, and process to chop. Add the coriander, lemon juice, mayonnaise and yogurt, and process until the greens are well blended and the mayonnaise is a bright green. Season with salt.

This has been my go-to recipe for entertaining during a heat wave for over 20 years! I prepare it as written with one exception: to serve 8-10, I get 3.5-4 lbs of salmon.
