Veggie Pizza

Vegetable Pizza



2 (8 ounce) packages refrigerated crescent rolls

1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream

Veggies of choice


Some I like to use:

sweet red bell pepper, diced
green onions, diced
radishes, thinly sliced
black olives
cauliflower
broccoli or a
rainbow slaw mix from the store (broccoli, cauliflower, red cabbage, which was all pre-shredded)



Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).



Roll out crescent rolls onto large non-stick baking sheet. Stretch and flatten to form rectangular shape on sheet.



Bake 12 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow to cool.



In medium size mixing bowl, mix ranch dressing mix, mayonnaise, sour cream, and cream cheese until well blended. Spread the mixture over the cooled crust. Arrange vegetables over the top of the crust.



Refrigerate for 1 hour.

Sesame Seed Salad dressing

BLUE RIBBON SESAME SEED DRESSING

    * 2/3 cup sugar or honey
    * 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
    * 3 teaspoons grated onions
    * 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
    * 1/2 teaspoon paprika
    * 1/4 cup cider vinegar
    * 1 cup canola oil

    Combine all dressing ingredients except oil and seeds in blender and blend until well combined.

Slowly drizzle in oil until dressing is thickened and set aside. Add seeds, and pulse to mix, but do not over mix or you will no longer have any visible seeds.

   Great on any lettuce salad. I especially like it when there is chicken in the salad.

    **NOTE: If dressing is prepared ahead and refrigerated, be sure to take it out before serving as it will be too thick to toss.
