Balsamic.Wilted.Spinach.

Literally you should never buy any kind of bagged lettuce again --- unless it is Spinach. I used to feel sad b/c the lettuce would always start to go bad before I was even close to finished with it --- but as soon as spinach leaves start to go bad --- you cook them! [I know...exciting]

Spinach leaves
1/4 red onion sliced thinly
Balsamic vinegar
Olive oil
S&P
Serving: 2x

In a small skillet heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium/high heat then add the sliced red onion. Move around with a wooden spoon, cooking for just a couple minutes until begins to get tender. Then shake in the balsamic vinegar --- a few shakes --- stirring the onions around until the soak up the vinegar and are coated.

Add a few handfuls of spinach leaves [spinach is deceiving and you always need way more handfuls than you think]. Add some salt and pepper and stir/fold the spinach around with the onions until it wilts.

Transfer to a plate and enjoy!

[Options: can skip the onions and just use lemon juice and soy sauce and top with feta once cooked so the cheese melts slightly. This would also be really good with dried cranberries mixed in.]
