Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of softened butter with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to blend these ingredients together until creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Stir in 4 minced garlic cloves into the creamy butter mixture. Mix well until the garlic is evenly distributed throughout the sauce.
  3. Add ¼ cup of chopped fresh parsley and 2 tablespoons of chopped chives to the mixture. Gently fold in the herbs until they are thoroughly blended.
  4. Add in 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of black pepper. Mix vigorously until all ingredients are incorporated.
  5. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or transfer the sauce into an airtight container. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  6. When ready to serve, allow the sauce to come to room temperature for a few minutes. Serve warm alongside crusty bread, grilled shrimp, or fresh vegetables.
