1
Wash the Greens
Thoroughly rinse the kale and spinach under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit. Shake off excess water.
2
Prepare the Garlic
Mince the garlic cloves finely and set aside.

3
Heat the Olive Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
4
Sauté the Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
5
Add the Greens
Add the kale to the skillet first, as it takes longer to cook. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until it starts to wilt.
6
Incorporate Spinach
Add the spinach to the skillet and continue to sauté for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until both greens are tender.
7
Season the Greens
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the greens, then drizzle with lemon juice. Toss to combine and cook for an additional minute.
8
Serve
Remove from heat and transfer the sautéed greens to a serving dish. Serve warm as a side dish.
