Spinach is a nutritional powerhouse. High levels of vitamin K, A, C, B2, along with manganese, folate, and iron – all available in just one cup! This simple preparation is the fastest way to load up on nutrients at lunch or meal-time.

Serves 2-4

Ingredients

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 garlic clove, sliced
2 pounds spinach leaves, tough stems removed, leaves well rinsed
1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

Heat a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.

Carefully place the spinach into the skillet, with just the rinsing water clinging to the leaves. Sprinkle with salt. Cook 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally until spinach wilts but is still bright green. Serve immediately.
