Yield: 1 ½ cups 
Time: 20 minutes

INGREDIENTS
1 bunch spring onions, thinly sliced
1-2 TBSP olive oil
2 cloves of garlic, minced
½ cup mayonnaise 
½ cup sour cream (you can also use Greek yogurt)
2 TBSP lemon juice
Generous handful of fresh herbs such as dill, cilantro, parsley, basil; chopped
Freshly ground black pepper

PREPARATION
Preheat broiler and toss the spring onions with olive oil and salt on a baking sheet. Broil, tossing once, until onions are lightly charred, about 15 minutes. Let cool while you prepare the base for the dip. In a bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, and herbs. Stir in the cooled onions, and season with pepper and more salt to taste! If serving as a dip, you can top it with even MORE fresh herbs.
