Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Blanch the broccoli florets by cooking them in the boiling water for 3-4 minutes, or until tender but still vibrant green.
Drain the broccoli and transfer immediately to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
In a food processor, combine the blanched broccoli, lime juice, garlic, olive oil, cilantro, green chili (if using), salt, and pepper.
Blend until smooth, pausing to scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed. Add water, one tablespoon at a time, to achieve the desired creamy consistency.
Taste the broccomole and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lime juice if needed.
Transfer to a bowl and serve immediately with tortilla chips, veggie sticks, or as a spread for sandwiches and wraps.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
