The Charmed Kitchen

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 we use broccoli instead of avocados. Don’t get me wrong.  I love avocados, but “timing” them to be ripe when needed for parties makes me crazy. The broccoli dip is also easy to make and tastes good. Its always nice to have more appetizer recipes.

2 c. broccoli, cooked and drained

½ c. sour cream or Greek yogurt – we used yogurt

½ t. each paprika and cumin

Dash of hot sauce

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tomato, seeded and chopped, optional

Combine all ingredients in blender, except tomato, and blend until smooth. Chill. Stir tomato in before serving. Serve with tortilla chips or crackers.
