Рецепт Macaroni Salad
Chives,
a member of the onion family and native to Europe and Asia, have been around
over 5,000 years. But, they were not actively cultivated until the Middle Ages.
People
love their flavor; the smallest member of the onion family has many wild
cousins growing throughout the Northern hemisphere, including scallions and
ramps.
Chives
grow in clumps like grass, sending up, hollow, thin leaves up to 12 inches.
Unlike regular onions, no large bulb forms underground. It’s the leaves that
are the source of the onion flavor.
A
perennial plant, chives are perfect for the home gardener, even those with
brown thumbs. If you grow your own, you will be blessed in the spring and
summer with lovely lavender flowers shaped like a delicate puffball. These flowers are also edible, and make a
strikingly colorful garnish for any dish. However, be aware that
the flavor of chives becomes harsher after flowering. To avoid flowering, keep snipping the leaves back.

easy macaroni salad recipe blows store bought out of the water. Homey and
tasty, this salad is comfort on a plate.
