Blushing Chive Blossom Vinaigrette
Blushing Chive Blossom Vinaigrette. June 20, 2022. If you’ve never grown chives before, I highly recommend it for several reasons. First, fresh chives are delicious on many things, such as baked potatoes and pasta. Another reason is that chives are very easy to grow and reasonably self-seed without becoming invasive like forget-me-nots or calendula. Bees love chive blossoms for gathering nectar and ensuring you have pollinators in your garden. And lastly, chives produce adorable purple-pink, thistle-like balls, which are very useful for making a chive-flavored vinegar.
When I first learned how to make chive vinegar, I thought it was the prettiest thing with its hot pink color. Of course, I needed to find ways to use the vinegar, the most obvious way being a vinaigrette. Vinaigrettes are easy and resource-efficient, and an excellent way to use fresh herbs. And if you like pretty foods, this vinaigrette is also quite pretty with its blush-pink color. Salad lovers will likely enjoy this pale pink vinaigrette for its sweet, tangy, mild onion flavor.
Chive blossoms taste like the chive greens themselves, making them well-suited for chive vinegar. If you have not made chive vinegar before, then read this post to see just how easy it is. Then, you can use that chive-flavored vinegar to make today’s Blushing Chive Blossom Vinaigrette.
