Mediterranean Wilted Spinach Salad

Adding sizzling hot oil to the salad at the last minute is a fun technique that really highlights the fresh flavor of the spinach, and makes the leaves silky delicious.

3 c. fresh spinach, tightly packed

2 Tbsp. green onion, thin sliced

1/4 c. crumbled goat or feta cheese

1/4 c. sliced kalamata olives

1 Tbsp. snipped mint

2 tsp. red wine vinegar

Salt and pepper to taste

2 Tbsp. olive oil

1 small clove garlic, minced or pressed

Combine all of the ingredients except the olive oil and garlic in a large salad bowl.

In a small pan, heat the garlic and olive oil until sizzling hot (stir often to keep garlic from over-browning). Drizzle lightly throughout the salad, and gently toss until the spinach softens.

Taste and add salt and pepper if needed. Serve right away.
