For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of balsamic vinegar or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end. If you don't have pine nuts on hand, slivered almonds or chopped walnuts make excellent substitutes. Baby spinach can indeed be substituted for the kale. The kale can be gently washed to remove any dirt or grit.
