Course Appetizer, Side Dish

7 minutes

2

• 2 lbs. spinach leaves, coarsely chopped (80% of Costco bag)
• 3 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

• 1/2 tsp. sea salt
• 1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 C pine nuts, toasted under broiler (optional)
• lemon wedges (optional)

1. Sauté the garlic in olive oil for about 1 min. until garlic is clear.

2. Add the spinach and seasonings and sauté for 1-2 min. or until spinach is wilted. 

3. Optionally, toss in pine nuts.

4. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

This savory recipe is more than just a side dish. If you’re running late and have no time to create an elaborate dinner, this recipe is a lifesaver, taking under ten minutes to make! Brilliantly simple, deliciously healthy.
