Notes

a) Chives - Firstly make sure they are fresh chives. Secondly make sure they're finely diced. You can adjust the quantity (I recommend up to 1/4 cup).

b) Garlic - Make sure it's a really small clove. Raw garlic is fairly pungent and if it's too large, it'll overpower the chives. For preference I'd start off with half a clove and adjust accordingly.

c) Calories - based on the whole dip divided by 6 people.
