2. Next, shave the brussels sprouts. Use a food processor with the slicing attachment and pulse until the brussels sprouts are thinly sliced. You can also use a mandolin or sharp knife if you don't have a food processor.

3. Place the shredded brussels sprouts in a large bowl. Add the chopped apple, dried cranberries, sunflower seeds, and Gouda cheese. Drizzle the salad with the dressing and toss well. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
