This low-fat sauce is made with plant-based ingredients.
You can top the sauce with fresh herbs, seeds, nuts, or your favorite spices.
Serve with bread, crackers, chopped vegetables, or spread on a sandwich!

Ingredients:

1 small handful chives (or 1-2 tablespoons dried chives)
1/8 cup fresh lemon juice (or to taste)
1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

Directions:

1. Place all ingredients in a food processor and blend until creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides of the bowl a few times. Taste and adjust to your liking.
