Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 Ripe avocado
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 Garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Optional: diced red onion

Instructions
Bring a pot of water to a boil and set up a steamer basket. Steam the broccoli florets for 4-5 minutes until they are tender and vibrant green. Immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process, then drain well.
In a food processor or blender, combine the steamed broccoli, avocado (peeled and pit removed), cilantro, lime juice, garlic, salt, and ground cumin.
Blend the mixture until smooth. If necessary, add the olive oil and water, one tablespoon at a time, to achieve a creamy consistency.
If desired, fold in the diced red onion and jalapeño for added texture and flavor.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lime juice as needed.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, vegetable sticks, or as a spread on sandwiches or wraps. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
