Fruity Nutty Spinach

Including nuts in your diet can provide a host of health benefits. The list includes lower cholesterol levels, reduced risk for heart disease and stroke, better weight control, and lower insulin needs for people with diabetes.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp chopped walnuts

  • 1 tsp olive oil

  • 1 (9-ounce) bag of fresh spinach (about 4 cups raw)

  • 2 tbsp golden raisins

Directions

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add chopped walnuts. Shake the pan to turn the nuts. After about 3 to 5 minutes, or when you start to smell them toasting, turn off the heat. Transfer toasted nuts to a bowl.

Remove stems from spinach. Rinse and drain in a colander and pat with a paper towel. Heat oil in the skillet over medium heat and sauté spinach until soft and bright green. Add raisins and nuts and stir until hot. Serve immediately.
