Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 4 cups Baby spinach leaves
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
- 2 tablespoons Pine nuts, toasted
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat, then add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and release their juices.
Season the tomatoes with salt and black pepper, stirring to combine.
Add the fresh baby spinach leaves to the skillet in batches, allowing each batch to wilt slightly before adding more. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Once all the spinach is wilted and well combined with the tomatoes, remove the skillet from heat.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the warm tomato and spinach mixture and gently toss to coat.
Transfer the salad to a serving platter or individual plates.
Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts and, if desired, grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor and texture.
Serve immediately and enjoy this warm, savory salad.
