Farmer Phil's Green Chives

Green Chives

Green Chives, also called onion chives or onion grass, have a waxy texture when fully mature. These plants do well in nearly all zones, particularly 3 through 10, and need full sun and well-drained soil. Add your transplants every eight to 12 inches in your garden, as green chives can get to be 12 inches tall.

Recipe: Chive Dressing

Green Chives are used often in salad dressings. Here’s our recipe for a chive dressing:

1/4 cup Fresh chopped chives
1/2 cup buttermilk
2/3 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 tsp sugar
Salt and pepper to taste

Whisk all ingredients together in bowl. Cover and chill 1 hour to let flavors blend.
