Do you like kale? I HATED it when I first went plant-based. But it is funny how quickly our tastes can change. Steaming kale in a small amount of water with some mushrooms and then topping with a small amount of sauce or dressing is my absolute favorite way to eat it. Did you know? Kale is a best-of-all-worlds food, low in calories and packed to the hilt with nutrition—vitamins, minerals, anti-inflammatory compounds, antioxidant phytonutrients—you name it. For the health benefits of kale, check out my blog post, “The Health Benefits of Kale.”
A few of the dressing to try and enjoy on steamed kale are “Non” Blue Cheese Dressing and Green Goddess Dressing.
