1. Stir together first three ingredients until well blended, then add chives


2. Spread chive butter on bread, both bottoms and tops

I prefer the cucumbers with the variegated light %26amp; dark green skin. But regular green skin cukes are good as well.





Leave the skin on and cut into medium thick round slices.


Add medium sliced onion half-rings. Whatever is your favorite onion...white, yellow or purple...I like the purple or Bermuda onion.


Then just add plain old sour cream.


Mix well and refridgerate for a couple of hours.


Salt %26amp; pepper to taste.


So simple and oh so yummy!
