Remove 1 tsp. zest and squeeze 2 Tbsp. juice from lemon.
In a blender or food processor combine beans, lemon juice, garlic, and salt. Blend until smooth, stopping and scraping sides as necessary.
With blender running, add oil in a thin, steady stream until smooth.
Add parsley, basil, and chives; blend until combined.
To serve, top with lemon zest and, if you like, additional fresh chives and olive oil.
Serve with crackers and/or vegetable dippers.
