Oh, Mighty Tomato Recipe Supplement: Spinach and Tomato Toss

This is fuss-free and easy to make, only taking a total of 20 minutes (or less).

Did you know one of the ingredients, tomatoes, helps prevent sunburn? It’s because they contain lycopene, a compound that helps protect the skin from the damaging effects of UV light.

Ingredients

1 medium onion

1 clove garlic, peeled and sliced

2 Tbs. olive oil

2 bags (6 oz. each) baby spinach

1 pint cherry tomatoes

 In a large skillet over medium heat, cool sliced onion and garlic in oil for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Increase heat to high; add baby spinach, cherry tomato halves and salt.

Cook 5 minutes more, or until spinach is tender and tomatoes are juicy, stirring frequently.

Serve salad warm or at room temperature.
