For a vegan option, omit the feta cheese or substitute with a plant-based alternative. Massaging the kale with a little olive oil and lemon juice before steaming can further reduce bitterness. Feel free to add other vegetables you enjoy, such as cherry tomatoes or shredded carrots. The salad can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Dress just before serving to prevent the kale from becoming soggy.
