• 1/4 cup mayonnaise

• 1 small bunch cilantro
• one stem and flower head of fresh chives 
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground if possible) 
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Chop cilantro and chive finely (use the whole stem, and the flower head), and stir it in with yogurt, mayonnaise, and lime juice in a bowl or a glass jar with agood lid.  Add salt and pepper and mix well (you may want to adjust the quantity up or down according to your taste).  Can be served immediately, but is even better if covered and refrigerated for at least an hour to let tastes blend.
