With a mix of caramelized and fresh scallions, plus avocado and yogurt, this dip has a taste and texture somewhere between onion dip and guacamole.

Recipe information

  • Total Time

    10 minutes

  • Yield

    Makes about 1½ cups

Ingredients

1 tablespoon neutral vegetable oil
3 large scallions, white and pale-green parts thinly sliced, dark-green parts trimmed, finely chopped
¾ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more
1 avocado, coarsely chopped
¾ cup plain Greek yogurt
Tortilla chips or pita chips (for serving; optional)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium. Add sliced scallions and a pinch of salt; cook, stirring frequently, until scallions just start to brown around the edges, about 3 minutes.

    Step 2

    Transfer scallions and oil to a medium bowl. Add avocado, yogurt, and remaining ¾ tsp. salt; stir to combine, lightly mashing avocado so mixture is slightly chunky. Taste and adjust seasonings. Top with finely chopped scallions. Serve with tortilla chips or pita chips alongside, if using.
