Quick and Simple warm Spinach salad.

(This is a great side to something Italian)

- Bunch of raw Spinach leaves (3 liberal handfuls)
- 1 cup chopped tomato
- olive oil (3 to 4 tbls)
- salt & pepper
- red pepper flakes (1 or dashes)
- 3 cloves copped garlic.
- balsamic vinegar
- Parmesan cheese (fresh shred is best).
- toasted nuts (optional)

In a pan, heat the olive oil. Add the garlic and let it get aromatic (about 1 to 2 minutes).

Add the tomatoes, salt and pepper, red pepper flakes. Sautee for 1 minutes.

Turn off the heat, add the Spinach and toss with a splash of balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle on the Parmesan cheese. Toss the toasted nuts to finish it off.

Note: if you want limpy/wilted Spinach, you can keep it on the heat until it cooks down. It works too.

This is an excellent healthy low carb alternative with tons of flavor.
