1
Wash the Spinach
Thoroughly rinse the fresh spinach under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Drain and set aside.
2
Prepare Other Ingredients
Mince the garlic cloves and slice the onion. Set both aside for cooking.

3
Heat the Olive Oil
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
4
Sauté the Onions
Add the sliced onion to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they become translucent and fragrant.
5
Add Garlic
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, being careful not to burn the garlic.
6
Add Spinach
Gradually add the washed spinach to the skillet. It may seem like too much at first, but it will wilt down significantly.
7
Season the Spinach
Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper while stirring the spinach. Continue to sauté for about 3-5 minutes until the spinach is wilted and tender.
8
Finish with Lemon Juice
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Stir to combine and adjust seasoning to taste.
