Green Herb Butter

Use your fresh spring herbs, garlic and green onions in this flavorful butter that will make anything taste better. We like to use it with mussels, dollop on salmon, stir into hot pasta, drop on baked potatoes, or use as a base for a cream sauce for soups or pasta. You can also replace the dill with basil and use it on chicken or beef.
