Kale, leek, and orange salad

Drawing on a variety of past recipes, I made this kale salad for lunch today (and for the next few days).  First I rinsed and tore up the kale into pieces, and tossed it with some olive oil (oil makes the kale leaves more tender). While the kale was chillin', I cleaned and sauteed 1 leek, cut into very thin pieces. After a few minutes I put everything together:

-1 bunch kale
-1 leek
-1 can white beans, rinsed
-1/2 cup almonds, roughly chopped
-1/2 cup dried cranberries
-1 orange, sliced
-salt, pepper, and vinegar (red wine or balsamic) to taste
