Chive pesto - that way it can be stored in your fridge for a while.

I thought about this... but I've never been a huge parsley fan. Any chance you have a recipe for chive pesto with no parsley? The only ones I can find rely heavily on parsley. Thanks!

Make a big pot of asparagus or pea or fava soup, and add a whole bunch of chives right before blending it smooth - then a bunch diced on top for serving. So good.

Lovely in buttermilk-based salad dressings! So mild, so delicate, and adding flavor with a longer shelf life than in your salad. Or, for a use that will keep indefinitely (at least a year), infuse white wine vinegar with chives -- finely chop, put in a jar with a vinegar-proof lid or a bottle with a cork, let sit in a dark place for two weeks, then strain. I'd add a tiny clove of garlic with the chives, too, lightly crushed. My chives are also going wild. As are all of my other herbs, thanks to the (unusual for us) spring rain! ;o)

Mark Bittman's Kitchen Express has a chive salad recipe. It's basically bunch of chives + lettuce with a soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil dressing.

I dry excess chives for year-round use. If you don't have a dehydrator, look online for other drying methods (including microwave instructions).
