With a 13 minutes total prep and cook time, spinach may just be the fastest and easiest side dish to prepare. There are three types of spinach in supermarkets: baby spinach, curly spinach, and flat spinach, which is sold by the bunch. Flat spinach is more delicate than curly spinach and not as pricey as baby spinach, making it a great choice here. Give your spinach a quick rinse to ensure no gritty dirt lands in your dish. A quinoa pilaf with carrots and snow peas makes a great vegetarian protein option to accompany your spinach. Grill a chicken breast with some bell pepper halves, cut the peppers into strips and you have a full plate dinner that is beautiful and filling.
