Zesty California Avocado White Bean Dip

1. Zest the limes and set the zest aside.
2. Slice the ends off the lime; cut off and discard the peel and pith. Carefully cut each lime into segments, reserving any leftover lime juice..
3. Heat the avocado oil and honey in a small skillet, then add 2 tablespoons of scallions, lime segments, and any extra lime juice.
4. Cook on medium-low heat until the limes are broken down and look caramelized, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in 1/2 teaspoon of the lime zest, and set aside.
5. Combine avocado, white beans, 3 tablespoons of cilantro and sea salt in a blender or food processor along with the cooked lime mixture.
6. Add a splash of water as needed to thin the dip enough to puree it smooth. Taste and add more salt as needed.
7. Transfer to a bowl and top with1 tablespoon of cilantro and scallion greens each.

Serving Suggestion: This zesty dip is a great addition to a vegetable platter or served alongside crusty bread.
