Dried chives are a great staple in any kitchen. Use them to conveniently add delicate onion flavor to cheese,

egg or potato dishes, salads, stir fries, vinegars, sour cream, cream cheese, herb butters, sauces (cream

and tomato) and soups (vichyssoise in particular, but any creamy, cold, or vegetable soup). You'll find

chives in recipes for fines herbes blends and in many European, Southeast Asian, and Chinese dishes.
