Broccoli Spread

INGREDIENTS
2    cups broccoli florets
½   cup mayonnaise
2    teaspoons lemon juice
½   teaspoon salt
1    tablespoon dried basil
3    cloves garlic, chopped
1    slice bread, torn

METHOD
Cook the broccoli in boiling water for 3 to 4 minutes until crisp-tender. Rinse in cold water until cool and drain. Combine the broccoli with the remaining ingredients in a food processor and process to a puree. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days until needed as a dip for vegetables or a spread on sandwiches or on toasty French bread.

If not using immediately, leave out the lemon juice until ready to serve to avoid turning the broccoli brown.

Based on a recipe in Cooking Light magazine.
