ingredients

• 1 pound (500g) white or green asparagus, trimmed
• 1 cup (1 cup, 250ml) fresh goat cheese curds (or 3/4 cup - 6 oz., 185ml) fresh goat cheese and 1/4 cup either goat or cow's milk)
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 cup (about 10g) mixed fennel fronds, cicely and chervil leaves

Mince the herbs, and whisk them into the goat cheese mixture. Season to taste with salt.
