Sharing is caring!

Here's an easy method for making and using chive blossom vinegar.

First, it's important to make sure your chive blossoms are pesticide-free and otherwise safe to eat. For some instructions on where to purchase and how to use edible flowers, you can consult my edible flower guide. 

Chive blossom vinegar can be used in a number of ways. I personally plan on using mine in a mustardy vinaigrette over a spinach and arugula salad. Here are a couple of ideas about how to use it:

-drizzled over freshly roasted asparagus

-drizzled over potato salad

-in place of balsamic vinegar in a vinaigrette

-stirred into some ricotta cheese and served with toast

-drizzled over fries

There are lots of other ways you can use chive blossoms. Probably the easiest way is to tear them up and sprinkle them on a salad.

It adds a really nice allium kick to a salad and a lovely pop of color. There are lots of wonderful looking recipes for chive blossoms - a few of them include:
