Sesame Garlic Wilted Spinach
This sesame garlic wilted spinach recipe was a quick and healthy Asian side dish to pair with some honey, lime, sriracha chicken skewers, and Thai crunch salad with peanut dressing. My kids tolerated this spinach only because they drowned it in seasoned vinegar–whatever works! My husband and I both loved the sesame flavor, and I liked the slivers of garlic. You can’t beat a fast and easy side dish recipe!

This sounds wonderful. I love wilted spinach but with sesame oil, garlic and soy sauce it must have so much flavor!
This is so yummy! I also leave out the rice vinegar and and soy and fold the garlic spinach into mashed red potatoes. Its my vegetarian husbands comfort food
This dish looks delicious, Pam, and is very welcome after all the rich food from the holidays. I’m still recovering from that. I hope you and your family have a very healthy and Happy New Year.
