It’s that time of year again when the chives are in full bloom. Did you know that they are edible? They not only add a great flavour to salads and dishes, the lovely purple color will make your dish pop! This compound butter can go on anything; potatoes, veggies, toast, fish, chicken, and pasta just to name a few.

You don’t need many ingredients to make this mouth-watering butter. I used dairy free butter, but you can use any type of butter that you would like.
