V. I. Pizza

Submitted by StacyMD187373

"This delicious appetizer is a bit different than those already posted in that it doesn't call for cream cheese, mayonnaise or ranch. I've been making it since I entered it in one of my first 4-H competitions when I was young; it's always delicious. It makes a really pretty presentation! Great for a wedding or baby shower. I got the recipe from our local paper. Guessing on the preparation time. This is my first recipe to post, so I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! The amount of veggies is an estimate; I usually chop them into fairly small pieces and just pile it on! Please make this your own and use whatever vegetables your family and friends enjoy!"

Great, easy, veggie-ful "pizza"! I didn't add the hard boiled egg, and used cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, tomato, and yellow bell pepper as my vegetables. The dip was a great base; I used just enough to get the veggies to "stick" and thought it added a great flavor. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Can you say, "yum". I loved the ease of making this pizza. And what a great way to get the daily requirement of veggies. And the use of onion dip was inspired, instead of a plain white sauce. Thnx for sharing your recipe, Stacy. Made for PAC Spring 2010. You've been adopted! http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=327498&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

First of all, I would like to thank you for your lovely review of my Zuchinni & Cheese Patties...I am so glad you enjoyed them. To show my appreciation, I decided to make this one. What a great little appetizer. We loved the French onion dip as the base. How easy is that!!!!! Great flavor and everyone raved about it. Thanks, StacyMD187373, for sharing it.
