<\/p>\n
1 1\/2 cups white wine vinegar (or champagne vinegar)<\/p>\n
Fresh chives with blossoms<\/p>\n
For the Vinaigrette:<\/p>\n
3\/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil<\/p>\n
1\/4 cup chive blossom vinegar<\/p>\n
1\/2 teaspoon grainy Dijon or a honey Dijon<\/p>\n

Steps to Make It<\/p>\n
Gather the ingredients.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Cut the blossoms off of the chive stems just below the flower head. Rinse gently and let them dry. Pack the chive blossoms loosely in a 1-pint jar, filling it about 3\/4 full.\u00c2\u00a0 Pour the vinegar over the blossoms until the jar is very full. Put a cover on (not metal) the jar, label it with the date, and set in a cool, dark place for ten days to 2 weeks. If you don’t have plastic covers for your jars or a jar with a glass lid, use a metal screw band and screw it over a small square of wax paper or parchment paper. Strain the vinegar, discard the chive blossoms and transfer the vinegar to a clean bottle or jar.\u00c2\u00a0 Store the strained vinegar for up to 6 months in a dark, cool place or in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n
