Steps:
- Thinly slice the radishes and florets of cauliflower on a mandoline or with a vegetable peeler. Cover with a damp towel and reserve. Wash and dry the radish tops if using.

- Toast the pecans in a single layer in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned.
- Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the shallots. This will help to prevent them from overpowering the other ingredients in the salad.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of pomegranate molasses to taste. If you like a sweeter salad, add more molasses. If you prefer a more tart salad, add less.
- Serve the salad immediately after dressing it. This will help to prevent the arugula from wilting.
