Spring Green

The recent spring rains have encouraged my chives to have a growth spurt. At about four inches tall, these small Alliums are the first vegetable to awaken from winter. Their bright green looks so cheerful compared to the rest of my damp patio. I can't wait until I can sprinkle  some freshly picked chives over my cottage cheese for a simple snack, or to add them to all my summer salads. Just like my patio, Chives instantly perk up any simple dish without overpowering it like an onion can. Mmm, I can taste the fresh flavor already.
What is your favorite way to use chives?
