SZECHWAN SPINACH

Serves 4
Vegetables
Provides 2 vegetable servings per person


Colorful vegetables contain essential nutrients to aid in disease prevention and help you feel great! Dark green vegetables like spinach are rich with phytochemicals that keep your body healthy. Here's an idea for a tasty spinach side dish with an Asian flair. Wilt 8 cups of spinach by pouring lots of boiling water over it. Drain well. Combine 2 sliced green onions, sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and ½ teaspoon sesame oil. Then a pinch of crushed chiles and finely chopped fresh ginger. Toss all of these ingredients with the spinach and let it sit so the flavors can combine. It looks and tastes wonderful.
