Simple Summer Spinach

By Jenny Rosenstrach and Andy Ward

We find that the kids are more likely to eat spinach when it's chopped and not "stringy." Their word. Not ours.

Ingredients

Olive oil
2 garlic cloves, halved
4 large bunches fresh spinach
Pinch of salt

    Heat some olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add garlic; swirl for 1 minute, just until fragrant.

    When the spinach has wilted, transfer it to a platter, and squeeze the juice from lemon over it.
