Spinach & Cherry Tomatoes (Pan-Sautéed)

This simple spinach and tomato dish is light, fast, and built around letting fresh ingredients shine. The spinach wilts gently in the pan, staying tender without losing its color. Cherry tomatoes soften just enough to release their sweetness. Everything comes together in minutes with calm, steady heat. It’s the kind of side that fits anywhere on the table. Clean, fresh, and quietly satisfying.
