The veggie side dish in all the land has to be this one. Spinach sautéed with garlic and a little salt & pep is always so refreshing and also very healthy, I always keep a container of pre-washed spinach in my refrigerator because it will always go to use either in a smoothie, an omelette, a lunch salad, or as a hot veggie side like this one!
