Chives
Cebollino in Spanish
Chives are a type of onion that has a milder flavor than most onions. They are often used as a garnish or as a flavoring for soups and salads. Chives pair well with other mild-flavored ingredients, such as eggs, cheese, and potatoes. They can also be paired with stronger-flavored ingredients, such as bacon and garlic.
