Winter salads help kick-start your hunger! A kicked-up dressing that is tangy makes you want more! Lettuce and vegetables like kale are hearty and healthy, but they hold lots of sauce, which is a good thing.

Directions
Caesar dressing
Place all ingredients except the oil into a sizeable, narrow vessel. You are using an immersion blender; blend until smooth. While mixing, slowly add in the oil until smooth and thick. You can also use a blender for this; the same procedure applies.
Harissa hummus
Place all ingredients into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. If it is too thick, add water or olive oil.
To plate
Toss chopped kale with some of the dressing. Add a dollop of the hummus to the bottom of a serving dish and spread it with a spoon. Plate kale in the middle of the bowl and garnish with craisins, feta cheese and roasted almonds. Enjoy!
