Ingredients
Scale
Scallions
- Half a bunch of scallions, about 6 stalks
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.
- Char the scallions: Heat a dry skillet over medium-high heat without adding any oil. Add the dark green parts of the scallions and cook until they are charred on both sides, about 6 minutes. Once charred, transfer them to a mixing bowl.
- Mix the dip: To the bowl with the charred scallions, add the scallion whites, chili crisp, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Stir well to combine all ingredients into a smooth, creamy dip. Taste and add sriracha if you prefer a spicier flavor.
- Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving dish, topping it with additional chili crisp for extra texture and heat. Serve immediately with crackers, chips, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
Notes
- Char the scallions carefully to avoid burning; medium-high heat is optimal.
- You can substitute sour cream with plain whole-milk yogurt to add tanginess with a lighter touch.
- 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.
