Canola oil is a budget-friendly alternative.

Start by making the dip with 2 ripe avocados.

Scoop the avocado flesh into a food processor.

Add 1/2 cup of fresh tarragon to the processor.

Roughly chop chives and add them in.

Trim and roughly chop 4 scallions (green onions) and add to the food processor.

Add 1 cup of Greek yogurt (2% fat) for creaminess.

Pour in 2 tablespoons of white wine vinegar for acidity.

Sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

Blend all ingredients in the food processor until well combined and creamy.

Plate the dip and arrange it beautifully on a platter.

Use endive to create a flower-like arrangement around the dip.

Add red pepper to the platter for color.

Blanch green beans for two minutes in boiling water to enhance their color and reduce rawness.

Arrange blanched green beans on the platter as well.
