Simple Shiny Spinach

Spinach is one of the most versatile and easy to cook vegetables. The trick is to make sure not to overcook it because spinach can quickly turn bitter. Spinach is naturally high in sodium or salt so there is no need to add salt to this recipe. The almonds add a bit of crunch, as well as protein and healthy fats.
