Instructions
Sauce
  1. Prep ingredients and blend until smooth in a food processor or blender.
Salad
  1. Trim and remove tough outer leaves of brussels sprouts, then separate each leaf until you get to the heart. Thin slice heart.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil in a heavy bottomed 12" skillet cook onions and carrots over high heat for 3 minutes.
  3. Add brussels sprouts and cook until slightly charred and wilted but still with good color.
  4. Mix the salad in a bowl with ¼ cup of the sauce. Add fresh chopped cilantro and orange segments (clementines).
  5. Serve warm. Add more sauce as desired.
