Who doesn’t like a good guacamole adaptation?! True, why mess with a good thing, but I was still curious about what adding broccoli would do, and I’m very glad I did. This is a much lighter alternative to guacamole, and it makes you feel good because there’s broccoli in it. I thought this would be a kid-friendly recipe, which it’s not completely, but if yours are willing to taste it, they may just love it (or take three bites and realize they don’t yet). It is definitely husband approved, and he thought the jalapeno would add a nice kick.
