Taste the spread and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.

Transfer the chives spread to a serving dish or airtight container.

Step 7

Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, or serve immediately.

Serve with crackers, toasted bread, or fresh vegetable slices. Enjoy!
