Add the chickpeas, the roasted red peppers, the sun-dried tomatoes, salt, and the juice from 1/2 of a lemon to a food processor. Pulse until almost smooth, but still a bit textured. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and balsamic vinegar until smooth. Add a few cracks of black pepper and set aside.
Add the olive oil to a large sauté pan and set it on medium heat. Let the oil come to temperature and then add the shallots. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until their layers start to break apart and they become jammy. Season with salt.
Add the garlic and calabrian chili paste (or chili flakes) and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Scrape the shallots to the side to create an open part of the pan. Pour in the balsamic mixture and let it bubble slightly and reduce. Don't combine with the shallots, just cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-10 minutes or until the balsamic has reduced to a thicker sauce.
Add in the kale and coat it in the balsamic, mix everything in the sauté pan together. Cook another 1-2 minutes, letting the kale wilt but not brown.
Add in the dandelion greens and stir to coat. Let them wilt with the rest of the ingredients, this will only take about 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
Take the pan off the heat and set aside.
To plate, spread a generous serving of the chickpea mash across the bottom of the plate. Add the toasted focaccia on one side, and pile the salad high in the center. Place the slices of ricotta salata on top and finish with cracked black pepper!
