Step 1

First, add the great northern beans to a medium microwave-safe bowl.  Add the lemon juice, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and cayenne pepper to the beans and mix until the beans are coated in oil.  Microwave the beans on high for 90 seconds. Remove, mix and let the beans sit for 15 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, add the kale and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a large bowl. Massage the kale with your hands for 2-3 minutes or until the kale begins to soften and turns bright green in color.

Step 3

Next, prepare the asparagus. Chop off the asparagus heads and toss them into the bowl with the kale. Then, use a vegetable peeler to create ribbons. Peel the asparagus ribbons right into the bowl with the massaged kale.

Step 4

Add the green beans, red onion, blueberries, feta cheese, and slivered almonds to the kale and toss.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl prepare the dressing, whisk together the white wine vinegar, garlic hummus, black pepper, and honey.

Step 6

Finally, add the beans (olive oil included) to the salad and drizzle the dressing over all the ingredients.

Step 7

Toss the salad together until everything is coated.
