Chive Blossom Poppy Seed Dressing Makes Greens Irresistible

Growing greens like spinach, chard, kale, lettuce, and mustard greens is relatively easy. Incorporating large amounts of greens into your diet can be a bit challenging unless you have a few secrets up your sleeve.

Chives are blossoming in the garden about the same time that you have an abundance of greens in the spring and early summer. The ideal time to harvest chive flowers is when they are full and bright. It’s like nature put them there intentionally to work their magic on the greens and encourage us to eat more to rebuild our immune systems after a long winter.

I promise you. This dressing is absolutely irresistible. I frequently take a salad packed with spinach or greens to a potluck. Anyone who is brave enough to try a salad with this dressing always comes back raving and begging for the recipe.
