It’s Spring Break, and although winter is nearly over, I’ve been inspired by seasonal greens lately.
I made this recipe last week, and it is super-easy and adaptable. Here are a few tips.
Be sure to not let the spinach spend too much time in the pan. And if the radicchio is too bitter for you or your kids, just go with more spinach, or try kale. You can also switch out the acid by adding a splash of Sherry wine vinegar instead of balsamic.
Top it with a piece of roasted salmon, or your favorite fish, and you’ve got some major brain food to enjoy.
