Sauteed Beet Greens: Mediterranean Style

I love to indulge myself with fresh greens at the end of the summer. My friend Maria, from Athens, turned me on to her Greek style, beet green recipe last summer.  Here is her simple but delicious way to use the top of your beets.  Just steam the greens until the stems are soft, then lightly saute with sea salt, olive oil and apple cider vinegar.   

Ingredients: 
  1.  Beet greens, 2.  Olive oil,  3.  Apple cider vinegar,  4.  Sea salt.
