Creamy Avocado Dip with Scallions

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.

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

Step 1
Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium.
Step 2

Step 3
Transfer scallions and oil to a medium bowl.
Step 4
Add avocado, yogurt, and remaining 3/4 tsp. salt; stir to combine, lightly mashing avocado to slightly chunky or creamy. Its up to you! Taste and for seasonings.
