I have made this recipe about a half of a dozen times and it never lasts more than a day. We are having a cookout today and my mom is making ribs! I thought this would pair good with some BBQ! All I can say is move over jiffy !

1/2 tsp kosher salt

1/4 cup fresh chives, chopped

2 scallions, chopped
