Spinach with Feta and Pine Nuts

This was my second side dish in the meal with Salmon with White Wine Sauce (the other was the Roasted Tomatoes).

Ingredients:

Baby Spinach - one package, about 10 ounces (note: you can buy fresh spinach, or frozen)
Olive Oil
1-2 Tbs of Lemon Juice (if you are preparing this with the Salmon recipe, you can use some of the lemon juice that is remaining from that dish)
Crumbled Feta Cheese
1/4 cup Pine Nuts

Directions:

If you are using frozen spinach, follow the directions on the package to cook. I don't add any salt to the spinach, even if the directions call for it, because the Feta itself is so salty. Once the spinach is done cooking, drain any excess liquid and toss with about 1 Tsp of olive oil and pine nuts. You can either toss in the Feta or sprinkle on the top when you are serving it.

If you are using fresh spinach, heat 2 Tbs of olive oil in a pan. Add baby spinach and cook, tossing almost constantly, until tender. This will take about 3 minutes or so. Toss with pine nuts. Either toss in the Feta or sprinkle on top of each serving.
