Creamy Avocado Dip with Scallions

Total time: 10 minutes

Yield: 1.5 cups

Ingredients:

• 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 low-fat plain Greek yogurt
• Tortilla chips or pita chips (for serving; optional)

Directions:

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.
2. 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.
