Hot salad

Here's a 10-minute healthy meal I whipped up for brunch:

Ingredients (serves 1):
  • Olive oil
  • 1 zucchini
  • Diced onions
  • 1 potato
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese
  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • Balsamic vinegar
  • Pine nuts
Directions:

Sauté the diced onions in olive oil. Cut the potato in thin slices and add to the skillet. When the potato is just about cooked, add in the zucchini. It's important to add the zucchini after the potato because potatoes take longer to cook and the zucchini will burn if added in the other order. Once both the zucchini and potato slices are ready, add in half a cup of shredded cheese. The cheese will melt almost instantly. I added some herbs for flavor, but the dish will still taste good sans seasoning. Transfer the food to a dish and top it with baby spinach. Sprinkle balsamic vinegar and pine nuts on top to put the finishing touches on the dish. Et voila! C'est fini!

I apologize for not having a picture; it looked and smelled so good that I devoured it immediately.
