For the Salad:

12 Brussels sprouts stems discarded (about 2 large handfuls)
2 cups or handfuls fresh baby spinach or a spinach salad mix coarsely chopped
3-4 tablespoons chopped walnuts
1/4 cup Feta cheese crumbled
1 blood orange peeled, sections and orange slices cut in half

3 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons maple syrup honey will work too

Instructions

Place Brussels sprouts in a food processor and pulse several times, until spouts are shredded. Alternatively, you can slice Brussels sprouts as thin as possible and then break up clumps with your fingers.
In a large bowl, toss to combine shredded Brussels sprouts, baby spinach, walnuts, Feta and oranges.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk all dressing ingredients together.
Serve salad in 2-3 bowls with several spoonfuls of dressing.
