Vegetable Pizza

Vegetable Pizza
From: Barbar DeMarcus

2 cans crescent rolls or 1 can pizza dough
2 (8oz) cream cheese
1 pkg dry ranch dressing mix
¾ cup mayonnaise
8 oz. sour cream
Garlic powder, salt, pepper to taste, if desired
Approximately 3 to 4 cups finely cut fresh vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, green onions, tomatoes, green peppers, etc. (whatever you like) at least 3 or 4 vegetables.
8 oz. shredded cheese

Flatten dough in large sheet pan. Bake and let cool. Combine all other ingredients, except vegetables and shredded cheese. Spread on cooled crust. Top with vegetables and cheese. Cut into squares and serve. Keep refrigerated. Makes 25-30 squares. I press the vegetables down onto cream cheese layer so they will not be loose because they fall off easily when you cut into squares.
