For a healthy luncheon at work, I dug out an enticing recipe I had squirreled away for just such an
occasion. After discovering the recipe in Taste of Home's "The Market Fresh Cookbook" edited by Jennifer Olski, I knew this fresh veggie pizza would make a great contribution to a potluck or provide the perfect finger food for a summer picnic or camping trip. This simple recipe was such a hit, I'll be making it every chance I get! Plus, the ingredient list is so versatile, I'll be busy developing new combinations and flavors to try! Look for a Greek-style Veggie Pizza soon!Garden Veggie Pizza
Ingredients:
8 oz. tube seamless Crescent Rolls
8 oz. reduced-fat or fat-free Cream Cheese (Tip: Support local businesses by checking labels to see where your products were produced!)
1 packet of Ranch salad dressing mix
2 Tablespoons fat-free Milk
1/2 cup chopped fresh Broccoli
1/2 cup chopped fresh Cauliflower
1/2 cup chopped fresh Carrots
1/2 cup chopped fresh Green Pepper
1 small package Grape Tomatoes
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Unroll crescent dough into 13x9x2 inch baking pan, coated with nonstick cooking spray. Bake for 11-13 minutes or until golden brown. Check for air bubbles during the baking processing and pierce any with a fork. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
Meanwhile, wash and chop all of your veggies. Grape tomatoes should remain whole. Set aside.In a small mixing bowl, beat cheese, dressing mix, and milk until a smooth consistency is reached. Spread over cooled crust. (Tip: Extra ranch cream cheese spread makes for an indulgent dip for any leftover veggies you may have!)
Sprinkle cheese-coated crust with chopped veggies. Cover and refrigerate before serving. Slice with a pizza cutter and enjoy!
