Ingredients

  • 8 cups baby spinach
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 2 plum tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 tablespoon sliced Kalamata olives
  • 2 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Cooking Directions

Step 1


Place spinach in a large bowl.

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until starting to soften, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, olives, parsley and garlic and cook, stirring, until the tomatoes begin to break down, about 3 minutes.
