Yummy Kale!

I started eating kale a couple years ago after someone told me how packed with nutrients it is and how good it is sauteed like spinach or blended in a smoothie. Kale is that rubbery green stuff they use as a garnish on your plate at resturaunts and its near impossible to chew raw, so I never thought to buy it and eat it.
Last night we had some friends over and she wanted to try a kale recipe she found....she knew I would be all for it! We steamed it in the steamer and she pre-made the dressing to go on it (lemon juice, garlic, olive oil). It was so easy and was DELICIOUS!!  Here is the recipe so you can try it yourself! So flavorful!
