The contrasting textures of crunchy broccoli and creamy, soft avocado are a winning combination.

Recipe Notes
My preferred way to cook broccoli is to steam it in the microwave for 3 to 5 minutes.Herbs de Provence is a seasoning blend featuring many of the herbs that grow most abundantly in southern France. These days the spice section of most well stocked grocery stores sell Herbs de Provence. If you prefer you can create a blend yourself: Basic DIY Herbs de Provence Recipe.Serving size: about ¾ cupClick here to see your WW PersonalPoints for this recipe and track it in the WW app or site.3*SmartPoints (Green plan)3*SmartPoints (Blue plan)3*SmartPoints (Purple plan)3*PointsPlus (Old plan)
