Step 1
Place the 1/2 cup softened butter in a small bowl. Let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes if it is not already soft.
Step 2
Add the 2 tbsp chopped chives, 2 tbsp chopped parsley, and 1/4 tsp salt to the butter.
Step 3
Mash and stir with a fork until the herbs are evenly distributed throughout the butter, about 1 minute.
Step 4
Spoon the butter onto a sheet of plastic wrap, shape into a log about 1 inch thick, and roll tightly. Twist the ends to seal.
Step 5
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until firm, or use immediately as a soft spread. Slice or dollop as needed.
