Recipe by /contributors/sue-li Szechuan peppercorn's unique flavor is tingly and refreshing rather than chile-hot. You can find them in gourmet shops or online. You can also substitute a pinch of red-pepper flakes if you'd prefer a bit of heat instead.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons vegetable oil, such as grapeseed
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1/3 cup rice-wine vinegar
1 large pinch ground white pepper
1 tablespoon Szechuan peppercorns, lightly crushed
Kosher salt
1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed
3 celery stalks, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
1 serrano chile, thinly sliced (optional)
1 cup cilantro (tender stems and leaves)

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the oils, vinegar, white pepper, and peppercorns; season with salt. Working over the bowl, separate the Brussels sprout leaves and add them to the dressing. You may need to trim the core more as you get to the center of the sprouts. Add the celery and chile to the bowl and toss to combine. Let the salad sit about 15 minutes. Add cilantro and taste and adjust seasoning before serving.
