Add the minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped chives, salt, and black pepper to the blender.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the dressing is too thick, add water 1 tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Serve over salads, grain bowls, or use as a dip for vegetables. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
