CREAMY AVOCADO DIP

Think of this dip as the creamy, tangy cousin to guacamole. The Parmesan may seem out of place, but it's a stand-in for hard-to-find Mexican cheese and is the secret ingredient. Serve it with tortilla chips or veggies, or on the side with grilled chicken or steak.

Yield Makes about 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon neutral vegetable oil
3 large scallions, white and pale-green parts thinly sliced, dark-green parts trimmed, finely chopped
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more
1 avocado, coarsely chopped
3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
Tortilla chips or pita chips (for serving; optional)

Steps:

  • 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.
  • Transfer scallions and oil to a medium bowl. Add avocado, yogurt, and remaining 3/4 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.
