Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Greens

    Wash the spinach and kale thoroughly under cold water. Remove any tough stems from the kale and roughly chop the leaves.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned.

  3. 3

    Add the Greens

    Add the chopped kale to the skillet first, as it takes longer to wilt. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until it begins to soften.

  4. 4

    Wilt the Spinach

    Add the spinach to the skillet and continue to sauté until both greens are wilted, about 2-3 more minutes.

  5. 5

    Season and Serve

    Season with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Toss to combine and serve warm.
