Tips:

  • Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender-crisp, but not mushy. Overcooked broccoli will make your dip watery.

  • Add some spice: If you like a little bit of heat, add some cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to your dip. You can also add some garlic powder or onion powder for extra flavor.
  • Serve with your favorite dippers: Broccoli dip is great with a variety of dippers, such as tortilla chips, pita chips, or vegetable crudités.
