Instead of massaging the kale to make it soft, this dish calls for sautéing the leaves in a dry skillet until they are tender, yet crunchy. And then there are the surprises: The spicy flavor of kale is offset with caramelized creamy pumpkin (surprise #1), cinnamon glazed bacon adds warmth and comfort (surprise #2), and the salad is seasoned with sea salted almond crumbs (surprise #3). <br /> <br />Needless to say, pumpkin can be substituted with any of the earthy winter squashes.
