Stir Fry Spinach with Garlic

Stir Fry Spinach with Garlic

This Stir Fry Spinach with Garlic is an easy side dish that I make quite often. The garlic makes the spinach aromatic, and both spinach and garlic is very healthy for you so it’s not only a tasty dish, but also a nutritious one.

My favorite thing to do is to buy the pre-washed baby spinach from the salad aisle, and use that. Saves time on washing and cutting up the spinach for sure.

However, if you prefer to buy a bunch of spinach you can do that also of course.
