Spinach is a great source of brain-boosting folic acid, while extra virgin olive oil and walnuts offer antioxidant vitamin E.
Serves 4.
1 lb. (4 c.) fresh baby spinach
2. T extra virgin olive oil
1 large clove garlic, pressed
2 T walnuts, chopped
Wash spinach and pick out any damaged leaves. Put aside to drain.
In a dry skillet, over medium heat, toast the chopped walnuts by tossing lightly until they turn golden brown. Be careful. They burn easily. Remove from skillet when toasted.
