Veggie Pizza

In need of an idea for a Super Bowl Party Appetizer? This is my go to to take to parties, it is more exciting then veggies & dip but is exactly that and a healthy option that even the manliest of men will eat. This recipe came from one of my Great Aunts a few years ago and I love to make it and think of her every time. It is easy to carry around and is able to be customized to your tastes. I used to make this with full fat ingredients and mayo instead of sour cream, well let me tell you - that is just foolish! I made it this past week for a book club meeting and used all reduced fat or light ingredients as well as substituting 100% of the mayo for sour cream. Everyone liked it, I honestly couldn't tell a difference and by the end of the night it was all gone. This is also a great recipe to make with your kids as you can get a little artistic with the veggie distribution!


Veggie Pizza: 24-32 Pieces

2 Packages Crescent Rolls - I use Reduced Fat
1 Package Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing (dry)
1/2C Sour Cream - I use Daisy's Light
8oz Cream Cheese - I use 1/3 Less Fat
2TB Milk - I use Fat Free
1C Cheddar Cheese - Shredded
1 Bell Pepper - Thinly Sliced
2 Carrots - Shredded
1 Cucumber - Seeded & Chopped
1-2C Broccoli - Chopped

Spread the crescents out on a greased sheet pan to cover the pan and pinch the seams together as much as possible - it doesn't have to be perfect. Place in a 375° oven for approximately 9-11 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature (if you are in a hurry place it in the fridge while you prepare the rest!)

In a stand mixer mix together the dressing, sour cream, cream cheese and milk. Spread the mixture over the cooled crescent roll base then evenly distribute the veggies all over the top of the dip. Top with the cheese and then with clean hands or a spatula press down on the veggies so they stick into the dip and are less likely to make a mess when you bite into them. Slice into either 24 or 32 pieces, remove to a tray and enjoy!
