Veggie Sticks With Avocado-Lime Dip

• 1/2 pound green beans, ends trimmed
• 1 firm-ripe avocado (10 oz.), pitted and peeled
• 1/2 cup plain nonfat yogurt
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon loose-packed fresh mint leaves, rinsed (optional)
• 1 clove garlic, peeled
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 pound jicama, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch-thick sticks

1. In a 2- to 3-quart pan over high heat, bring about 1 quart water to a boil. Add green beans and cook until tender to bite, 3 to 6 minutes. Drain and immerse immediately in ice water until cool, about 2 minutes; drain again.
2. In a blender or food processor, combine avocado, yogurt, lime juice, mint (if using), garlic, and salt; whirl until very smooth.
3. Spoon dip into a bowl and serve with green beans and jicama sticks.
