- The day before, mix the Greek yogurt with a small handful chopped chervil or dill and some seasoning. Tip into a sieve lined with a new J-cloth, set over a bowl and chill overnight.
- Boil the broad beans for 2 minutes, then drain and pod. Simmer the asparagus (stems trimmed) until just tender. Fry the lardons in a non-stick pan until crisp, then whisk in the juice of the lemons. Mix with the beans, asparagus, the chopped mint, herb salad leaves and some seasoning. Serve with scoops of the soft cheese and toast or crusty bread.
