Delicious Winter Kale Salad (Credit to The Juice Bar Collective)

A head of Kale (I've done it with Dino and Curly)
Cauliflower (you could do raw, blanched or roasted)
Purple Cabbage (cut thin)
Garbanzo Beans
Delicata Squash 

Dressing:
2 tbs Cider Vinegar 
1/4c Juiced Lemon
1/4c Juiced Orange
1tbs Dijon
1 tsp Garlic
1tbs Honey
1/4 of a red onion (I used much less, diced tiny, and then pickled it for 20+ min with the garlic, honey citrus and vinegar)
1 tsp ground fennel
1 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp yellow curry
1/4 tsp cumin
salt & pepper to taste
1/2-3/4c EVOO

The process is pretty straight forward. The ingredients and amounts change slightly every time I make this. The magic is in the dressing!!  Don't forget to massage your Kale with EVOO and salt beforehand.   Goat cheese or persimmons have been another nice addition. Healthy and Hearty enough for a meal!!
