CHEF’S SECRET
When selecting chives, pick stems that are bright green and firm. For even more flavour, use fresh chives from your garden or a local producer. If you have too many, freeze them! This way, you can enjoy them all year round.
If you prefer more intense flavour, replace the light mayonnaise with homemade mayonnaise. Note: this can increase the calorie count!
Make sure to wash your lime thoroughly before zesting it. Use a fine grater to get a delicate zest that will blend perfectly into your dip. The zest contains most of the fruit’s essential oils, so don't waste it!
This dip pairs wonderfully with tortilla chips and fresh vegetable sticks and is a great garnish on your sandwiches and wraps. For a spicy kick, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes!
This dip can be stored in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days in an airtight container. If it thickens a bit, whisk it quickly or add a splash of cream to get it back to an ideal consistency.
