This kale salad uses the most seasonal produce to make a bright and filling lunch or light dinner.Pomegranate molasses, which can be found at a local Middle Eastern grocery store, has a wonderful sweet and salty flavor. Kumquats are best around this time of year, and they add an amazing tartness to the salad, while ricotta salata adds some creaminess.— Executive Chef Alex Resnick
