Lemony Spinach Sauté with Heirloom Tomatoes and Feta Cheese

This lemony spinach sauté with heirloom tomatoes and feta cheese recipe is my new favorite way to make spinach. I loved the sweet heirloom tomatoes with the tangy lemon and salty feta. This side dish took just a few minutes to make and paired very nicely with the chicken paillard and rice with roasted vegetables.

How to Make Lemony Spinach Sauté with Heirloom Tomatoes and Feta Cheese

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the tomatoes and onion, then cook for 4  minutes, stirring often, until the onion is tender and the tomatoes are softened.

Add the spinach in big handfuls and the lemon juice, tossing constantly with tongs for a minute or so until all the leaves are just wilted.

Remove from the heat; Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste, and toss to coat evenly.

Sprinkle the top with the feta. Serve immediately. Enjoy.
