1
Wash the Spinach
Thoroughly wash the fresh spinach under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit. Drain and set aside.
2
Prep the Vegetables
Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince them. Peel the red onion and slice it thinly.

3
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
4
Sauté the Onion and Garlic
Add the sliced red onion to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent. Then add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
5
Add the Spinach
Gradually add the washed spinach to the skillet, stirring continuously. It may seem like a lot, but it will wilt down significantly.
6
Season and Cook
Once all the spinach is added, sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, for about 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted and tender.
7
Finish with Lemon Juice
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the sautéed spinach with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice for brightness. Stir to combine.
