Good Chives Only: Corn & Avocado Salad In A Creamy Chive Dressing

A few months back, I planted my first starter garden which I formally refer to as “my crops’. My crops have been exploding and now it’s time for ‘harvest’. Alongside some veggies, I planted various herbs. Chives & parsley being one of them. I feel very proud of this small victory as i’ve never grown anything in my life. That said, I would like to make it known to my readers whom I love so much that I grew the chives & parsley needed for the recipe – that’s all 🙂
