I would never think of eating kale raw – you'd imagine it would be too tough – but this is fabulous, a great salad that I had in New York this autumn. It has a melon sweetness from the pumpkin, texture from the kale ribbons, sharpness from lemon juice and salty richness from the parmesan. The roasted pumpkin seeds add nuttiness, too.
