Best Steamed Broccoli With Lighter Ranch Dip Recipes
CREAMY BROCCOLI-SPINACH DIP
A classic dip gets a wake-up call when fresh broccoli florets are swapped in for canned artichokes. And since this version is served at room temperature, you don't even have to turn on the oven!

Steps:
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Saute garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add broccoli, a pinch of salt, and 2 tablespoons water; toss to combine and cook, covered, until broccoli is bright green and tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Add spinach to skillet, cover, and cook until just wilted, about 1 minute. Transfer vegetables to a colander set over a plate. Let cool completely, then press out excess liquid with a spoon.
- Coarsely chop broccoli and spinach, then add to a bowl with ricotta, lemon zest and juice, basil, and Parmesan.
- Stir to combine; season with salt and pepper. Serve at room temperature with rye crispbread, or store in refrigerator, covered, up to 3 days.
CREAMY BROCCOLI DIP
This broccoli dip is a fresh, zippy, tangy addition to any meal. It's basically ranch with broccoli blended in and it goes really well with potato chips, potato wedges - anything oily and crispy!

Steps:
- Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to boil. Add the broccoli and cook until tender, about 4 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water until cool. Pat dry. Alternatively, you can drain the broccoli and immediately add to the food processor (just chill the dip before serving).
- Transfer the broccoli to a food processor and add the mayonnaise, milk, parsley, chives, lime juice, dill, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Pulse to make a smooth dip. Transfer to a serving bowl. Garnish with chopped dill. Leftover broccoli dip will keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. (Makes about 1 1/2 cups of dip.)
- Serve with broccoli florets and ridged potato chips.
