Chive Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the first six ingredients; shake well. Serve over salad greens. Refrigerate leftover dressing.

Steps:

• In a blender or food processor, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, chives, green onion, garlic, vinegar, tarragon, sugar and Worcestershire sauce and blend until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until serving. It will keep up to three days in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl, add the sour cream, buttermilk and apple cider vinegar and whisk until the ingredients are incorporated. Add the chives, dill, sugar, and salt and pepper to taste and stir once more. Cover and store in the refrigerator until ready to use. For best results, do a day or two ahead of time before using.

Steps:

• For the fried chicken: Using a mallet, lightly pound the thighs to flatten. Combine the hot sauce and 2 cups of the buttermilk in a large re-sealable gallon bag. Slice the chicken into 1-inch thick slices and add to the bag. Marinate for 40 minutes in the fridge.
• In a large, deep cast-iron or heavy skillet, bring the oil to 350 degrees F.
• Remove the chicken strips from the marinade and lightly pat away excess. Place the panko breadcrumbs into a large mixing bowl and season with the granulated garlic, marjoram, thyme, salt and pepper.
• Put the flour and remaining 2 cups buttermilk into separate, medium mixing bowls. Season each with salt and pepper. Dredge one piece of chicken at a time by first placing into flour and patting off the excess. Then place the floured slices into the buttermilk. Finally, transfer to the seasoned panko crumbs. Dust with panko crumbs, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks. Set onto a wire rack fitted over a baking sheet and repeat until all the thighs are dredged.
• Place the thighs into the oil in batches and fry until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Do not overcrowd the oil. Once browned and the internal temperature reads 165 degrees F, remove from the oil and set on a towel-lined dish to drain. Season with kosher salt.
• For the salad: In a large glass mixing bowl, toss the lettuce with the beans, corn, cucumbers, tomatoes and shaved radish. Add in 1 cup Buttermilk-Chive Dressing and toss to coat. Serve the chicken on top of the salad. Drizzle with a little extra dressing.
• On a flat cutting board, smash the garlic cloves with the flat side of a knife. Add the salt to make a paste, pressing downward and scraping with blade of knife. Reserve the paste.
• In a medium glass mixing bowl, combine the buttermilk, mayonnaise, sour cream, white vinegar, chives, parsley, dill and garlic paste. Blend well with a whisk or immersion blender. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve, at least 1 hour.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients except the oil.
• Slowly add the oil, whisking vigorously, until the vinaigrette is emulsified. The vinaigrette will keep, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Steps:

• Blend buttermilk, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and salt in a food processor until smooth.
• Add parsley and pulse until chopped. Add blue cheese and pulse until cheese is incorporated but dressing is still slightly chunky.
• Transfer to a bowl and stir in chives and pepper.

Steps:

• In a jar or bowl, combine shallots, vinegar, chives, sugar, peppercorns, olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Shake or mix well, cover and refrigerate overnight. Bring to room temperature before using. Shake well, taste, and adjust seasonings with more salt, vinegar, sugar or olive oil. Transfer to a serving bowl.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread hazelnuts on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and toast until golden and fragrant, 5 to 7 minutes. As soon as they come out of the oven, sprinkle lightly with salt. Let cool until you can handle them, then coarsely chop. Gently stir nuts into dressing, sprinkle top of dressing generously with fresh chives and serve immediately, using a spoon to drizzle over salad. Best served fresh, but keeps up to 3 days in refrigerator.

Steps:

• Purée first 4 ingredients in blender or processor until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer mixture to small bowl. Stir in chives.(Can be prepared 4 days ahead. Cover and chill.)
