    I've made this dip for Thanksgiving as an appetizer. Served it with home made garlic crostini. It was a big hit. Everyone loved it. The big plus is that you can make it a day ahead of the party.

    I've made this many times and it is always delicious and a huge hit with company. Didn't have chives this last time I made it, so substituted Rosemary. It was excellent! Much more earthy tasting but just as good! Will experiment with other herbs the next time.

    Made for a party.. They loved it. Added lots of course cracked pepper and served with crudits. It was particularly good with radishes.
