2 tablespoons chili crisp (plus more for serving)
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream (or plain whole-milk yogurt)
Sriracha, to taste (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Thinly slice the scallions, keeping the white and green parts separate.

Step 3: Add the scallion whites, chili crisp, mayonnaise, and sour cream to the bowl. Stir everything together until well combined.

Tips & Variations

Use plain whole-milk yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter, tangier option.
For a milder dip, reduce the amount of chili crisp or omit the sriracha.
Try adding a squeeze of fresh lime juice for a bright, citrusy note.

Storage

Store the dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir well before serving again. This dip is best enjoyed fresh but can be served chilled or at room temperature.

Dressing

2 tablespoons chili crisp (plus more for serving)
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream (or plain whole-milk yogurt)
Sriracha, to taste (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the scallions: Thinly slice the scallions, keeping the white and green parts separate for different usage in the recipe.

Adjust the sriracha according to your preferred spice level or omit it for a milder dip.
This dip is best served fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Offer a variety of dippers like sliced cucumbers, carrot sticks, or pita chips for more options.
