"Yes, a play on Guacamole. Same basic flavors; but, using broccoli. Really easy, and really good. This is good with the classic tortilla chips or crackers; but, I love this served with mixed vegetables (tomatoes, celery, cucumbers, peppers, baby new potatoes, scallions, radishes, etc.). And, my favorite, are small skewers of chicken and swiss cheese. Or, have some fun, and use this as a topping for a baked potato. It is really delicious, and very versatile. You can always double this recipe; but, this is based on 1 large head of broccoli."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Broccoli ... Cook the broccoli in salted water until it is very soft. Then, transfer to an ice bath (a bowl of ice water); which will hold the broccoli's bright green color. Once the broccoli has cooled (just a minute or two); remove, and transfer to a plate lined with a paper plate to drain. Cool completely.

Step 2

Dip ... Add the cooled broccoli, along with all the other ingredients to a food processor; then, pulse until everything is well combined, and you have a smooth texture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap; and, chill before serving.

Step 3

Serve and ENJOY! ... Garnish with lemon zest and slice black olive. Chips, crackers, mixed vegetables; and, my favorite - chicken and swiss cheese skewers. I just make them on tooth pics. 1-2 bites is all. Ham and cheddar skewers are also delicious. Toasted crostini spread with some of the dip, are also good topped with a roasted cherry tomato. So, you can see how versatile this dip is. And, try it topped on a baked potato too.
