Sounds yum and yummer (Eddie Jackson)! I haven’t made it yet, but plan to. I have a good box mix that I use and incorporate some of your ingredients. The charred scallions should really enhance the flavor! In response to the other review about having difficulty cutting the charred scallions, I’m going to pre-cut them and char them in a pan! I’ll do an actual review at that time and let you know which of your ingredients I used, and how it turned out!

Really good dip! Thanks, Katie! We loved the flavor brought out by the grilling on the scallions. My scallions were a bit too wilted and stringy making them hard to chop, maybe due to not a hot enough grill, but the smell and taste were great.
