Sauteed Greens

Mixed fresh greens
Olive oil
Salt

Rinse greens to remove any soil or sand – I used a salad spinner to remove excess water after rinsing.

Remove any stems and chop greens.

Saute in 1-2 Tablespoons of olive oil on medium heat for 3-4 minutes. Turn burner off and allow to sit for 5 or more minutes. Add half a cup of water and simmer for 15 minutes or so until greens are tender. Enjoy!
