Fresh Broccoli and Dip
Prep Tip: Look for broccoli with a firm stem and tight, compact florets that are dark green in color. Store broccoli in an open plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to five days. Rinse (don’t soak) broccoli under cool water just before serving.
Change It Up: Broccoli can be eaten in a variety of ways—fresh, roasted, boiled, steamed, stir-fried, cooked from frozen, or even pureed. This dip also works well with any fresh vegetables you have on hand.
Nutrition Tip: Broccoli contains antioxidants. Antioxidants help keep the immune system, skin, and hair healthy.
