Broccomoli – Broccoli Dip

This was a big hit at the cooking camp. The kids were excited to cook with broccoli, which made me happy. The dip is something I call “Broccomoli”. Basically similar ingredients of guacamole- except I use broccoli instead of avocados. Don’t get me wrong.  I love avocados, but “timing” them to be ripe when I needed them for parties makes me crazy. The broccoli dip is also easy to make and tastes good. Its always nice to have more appetizer recipes.
