That’s a shame, because when bloomed in hot oil and married with chopped fresh scallions and grated garlic they can become incredibly flavorful. In this easy dip, that aromatic herby oil is drizzled over Greek yogurt for a creamy dip that’s sure to delight guests. Serve with your favorite dippers, such as crunchy vegetables, pita chips, crusty bread, or even potato chips. Ingredients 1/2 cup olive oil 3 tsp dried herbs (such as parsley, oregano, basil, and mint) 1 tsp crushed red pepper 2 cloves garlic, grated on a Microplane (about 3/4 tsp.) 5 scallions, finely chopped, divided 2 cups plain whole-milk Greek-style yogurt 1 tsp lemon zest 1 tbsp lemon juice 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt Crusty bread or warm pita and/or vegetables, for dipping Directions Heat oil, dried herbs, and crushed red pepper in a small saucepan over medium-low, swirling pan often, until shimmering, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Add garlic and 3/4 of the scallions (they will sizzle). Stir to combine. Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, combine yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt in a medium bowl. Transfer yogurt mixture to a serving dish. Top with oil mixture and remaining scallions. Serve with crusty bread or pita and vegetables.
