If you’re a lover of warm, cheesy, salty dips that are packed with veggies, this recipe is worth a try. It’s heavy on veggies and by using a low-fat cottage cheese, it keeps the nutritional profile leaner while delivering the rich goodness you adore. Serve it warm with your favorite pita bread or slices of whole-grain baguette.
Tip: A steam-in-microwave bag of frozen broccoli is just about the perfect amount for this recipe. Cook it to the shortest time recommended by the food manufacturer for a nice balance between soft and crunchy.
Ingredients
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tsp. canola oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
