Blushing Chive Blossom Vinaigrette

Blushing Chive Blossom Vinaigrette. June 20, 2022. If you’ve never grown chives before it is something I highly recommend it for several reasons. First, fresh chives are delicious on lots of things liked baked potatoes and pasta. Another reason is that chives are very easy to grow and they reasonably self-seed without going crazy like forget me nots or calendula. Bees love chive blossoms for gathering nectar and ensuring you have pollinators in your garden. And lastly, chives also produce these adorable purple-pink, thistle-like balls which are very useful for making a chive-flavored vinegar.

Of course, I needed to find ways to use the vinegar the most obvious way being a vinaigrette. Vinaigrettes are easy and resource friendly as well as an excellent way to use fresh herbs. And if you like pretty foods this vinaigrette is also rather pretty with its blush pink color. Salad lovers will likely enjoy this pale pink vinaigrette with its sweet and tangy, mild onion taste.
