SUMMER CRUDITES WITH GREEN GODDESS DIP
Is it a dressing or a dip? Who cares? Green goddess dressing, the beloved California creation, doubles as a dip for a summertime crudite platter. The creamy concoction is studded with chopped fresh herbs and scallions, and it pairs particularly well with the season's bounty -- here, baby carrots and yellow squash, tender peas and beans, and little tomatoes -- but let the greenmarket (or your own garden) be your guide. This recipe originally appeared inMartha Stewart's Appetizers (Clarkson Potter).

GREEN GODDESS DIP
Fresh herbs give this classic dip, adapted from America's Test Kitchen, its clean, fresh flavor and distinctive color; do not substitute dried herbs. For an accurate measurement of boiling water, bring a full kettle of water to a boil, then measure out the desired amount. Season with additional lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste before serving.

Steps:
- Wipe the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking. Build a medium-heat fire. Your medium-heat zone should have embers 3 to 5 inches from the cooking surface.
- To make the dip: Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. Cut again so the avocados are quartered. Keeping the skin on, coat the flesh sides with oil and grill each flesh side over medium heat for about 60 seconds, or until there are nice grill marks. Set aside.
- Coat the tomatillos and jalapeños with oil and grill over medium heat on all sides until charred but not blackened, about 5 minutes total.
- Remove and discard the skins from the avocados. Add the avocados, tomatillos, jalapeños, garlic, lime juice, basil, and salt to a blender and puree until very smooth. The dip can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored, covered, in the refrigerator.
- Cut the larger vegetables, such as fennel and jicama, into pieces that are slightly larger than bite size and keep the smaller vegetables, such as asparagus, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, baby carrots, and endive, whole. Arrange the vegetables on a platter and serve with the dip.
