Preparation Steps:

1. Prepare the Apples:
   • Wash the red and green apples thoroughly.
   • Cut them into batonnet (thin sticks, similar to julienne but thicker) and set aside in a chilled bowl.
2. Make the Walnut Dressing:
   • Toast the walnuts lightly in a pan to enhance their flavor. Let them cool.
   • Blend the walnuts with olive oil, honey (or maple syrup), lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth. Adjust seasoning as needed.
3. Candied Walnuts (Optional):
   • In a small pan, add 2 tbsp of sugar and a splash of water.
   • Heat until the sugar melts and begins to caramelize, turning golden.
   • Toss in walnuts, coat them evenly, and transfer to parchment paper to cool.
4. Assemble the Dish:
   • Arrange the chilled apple batonnets on a serving plate.
   • Drizzle generously with the walnut dressing.
   • Add shavings or thin slices of Tomme de Bombay cheese on top.
   • Sprinkle with candied walnuts for added crunch and sweetness.

Serving Suggestion:

Serve this dish chilled as an appetizer or a refreshing snack. The contrast between the crisp apples, creamy walnut dressing, and savory Tomme de Bombay creates a delightful balance of flavors.
