Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad

I've never been a fan of cooked Brussels sprouts, but I love them raw. I shave them on a mandoline and toss with sliced shallots and crispy celery. I make a tangy dressing with pomegranate molasses to compliment the slight bitterness of the Brussels sprouts. When pomegranates are in season, I add the seeds (arils) for their gorgeous color and little bursts of sweetness. You can shave the Brussels sprouts up to 2 days before you plan to make the salad, kept in an airtight bag in the fridge.
