**Shayna** gave me a recipe years ago for very good toasted spinach sandwiches:

\*\*Toasted Spinach Sandwiches

Ingredients\*\*  
1 (10 oz) package of frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained  
½ cup finely chopped celery  
¼ cup minced green onions or garlic chives  
¼ cup low or non-fat salad dressing or mayo  
¼ cup low or non-fat plain yogurt  
1 tsp hot sauce (the original recipe called for half that, but we found it rather bland – add to your own taste)  
½ tsp garlic powder  
¼ cup finely shredded low fat havarti or swiss cheese  
Whole grain bread  
Fat free butter flavored cooking spray

**Instructions**  
Press the spinach between paper towels until barely moist.

Combine spinach, celery, chopped green onions or chives, salad dressing, yogurt, hot sauce & garlic powder in a medium bowl; stir well.

Spread mixture evenly over 4 slices of bread, sprinkle with cheese and top with remaining bread slices.

Brown sandwiches on a griddle coated with cooking spray.

EDIT: Hm… I thought this was the [\_\_\_\_\_] thread.
