Cold Vegetable Pizza

I stole this recipe for Cold Vegetable Pizza from Pilsbury.com. This is easy to make appetizer is perfect for a last minute holiday party. Crescent roll dough is spread in the bottom of a baking pan. The dough is baked on cooled. Then a cream cheese and sour cream mixture is spread on top. Shredded cheddar cheese and chopped vegetables are sprinkled on top to finish this appetizer. You can serve sliced on the tray or on a platter. This pizza isn’t a traditional pizza, but a great way to use fresh vegetables.

Preheat oven to 375 F. Grease a 15×10 baking pan, spread 2 cans (8 oz) of crescent dough into the bottom of the pan. (I also spread a thin layer of ranch dressing on top of the dough.)

Bake for 13 to 17 minutes, then cool for 30 minutes.

For the topping you will need 8 oz softened cream cheese and ½ cup sour cream. In this step I also add 1 package dry ranch dressing mix and ⅛ tsp garlic powder. I like the extra flavor you get from the ranch dressing and garlic powder.

Next, mix everything together until well blended.

Then spread the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust.

Sprinkle ⅓ cup chopped and seeded tomatoes and ⅓ cup quartered and seeded cucumbers on top.

Then finish with ⅓ cup shredded cheddar cheese and ⅓ cup sliced black olives. (You can substitute a variety of fresh vegetables if you prefer such as chopped broccoli, green onions or shredded carrots.)

Slice and serve or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
