Default Kale and other leafy greens

This is an easy, tasty way to make kale and broccoli rabe-I'm sure it would work with turnip (too bitter for me) and collard greens too.
About 1 tsp EVOO in a deep pot, toast some sesame seeds (optional), add some crushed red pepper, about a cup or so of broth or stock (or water) then add your greens and cover on medium heat. Takes about 10 minutes or so to steam, toss occasionally with tongs to mix. Tastes pretty good!

I have found a way to make the dark greens into a salad, and use a homemade dressing that removes the bitterness.

Kale, collard greens, mustard greens, dandelion, cut up carrot. All chopped up finely..Dressed with precooked millet, blueberries, and dressing (below)..

The Dressing:
Small clove garlic minced, fingertip-sized ginger (optional) piece minced. Add juce of 1/4 lemon, 1/4 avocado, 1/4 cup water, small splash olive oil, small spoonfull mustard (optional). The avocado diced makes the dressing smooth and creamy, and this concoction helps to mask the bitterness in some of the greens. The mustard greens also help sionce they have a bit of heat in them

Just someting else to try, not the boring crap we were raised on. It also seems like a better way to prepare what is normally considered to be vegetables that you would cook. It leaves more of the overall nutritional value intact.
