WILTED GREENS AND PINE NUTS

Category: Salad

6 cups spinach or mixed greens
1/2 tbsp olive oil
2-3 cloves minced garlic
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp pine nuts, toasted

Wash and trim spinach of any bad spots or thick stems and dry. Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and lemon juice. Saute for 1 minute. Turn heat high and add the spinach, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper.

Using tongs move the spinach around so that all of it is coated with the oil and garlic. Toss in the pine nuts. Season more if needed.

Notes: To toast nuts place them in a dry skillet and toast over low heat with no oil. They will scorch easily so watch carefully and stir or shake the pan as they toast. They will take about 5 minutes to toast. (You can substitute walnuts for the pine nuts).
