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

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.
