For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the lemon dressing for a touch of heat.
Toasted pine nuts or slivered almonds make a delightful addition, adding a nutty crunch to the dish.
Feel free to experiment with other herbs such as oregano or thyme to customize the flavor profile.
Massaging the kale with the dressing for a few minutes before steaming can help to tenderize it and enhance its flavor.

    Next time, I’m going to try adding a squeeze of orange juice for a different citrus twist.

    I used curly kale and it worked just as well. Just steamed it for a minute or two longer.

    My kids even loved it! A great way to get them to eat their greens.

    I didn’t have fresh garlic, so I used a teaspoon of garlic powder. It was still good!
