Veggie Pizza Squares

Ingredients:

One (8 ounce) package refrigerated reduced fat crescent rolls
One (8 ounce) package fat free cream cheese, softened
One (1 ounce) package Ranch-style dressing mix

1/2 cup chopped red bell peppers
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/2 cup fresh broccoli, chopped

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375-degrees.

Roll out crescent rolls onto a large non-stick baking sheet. Stretch and flatten to form a single rectangular shape on the baking sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown. Allow to cool.

Place cream cheese in a medium bowl. Mix cream cheese with 1/2 of the ranch dressing mix. Adjust the amount of dressing mix to taste. Spread the mixture over the cooled crust. Arrange red bell pepper, broccoli, and green onions on top. Chill in the refrigerator approximately one hour. Cut into bite-size squares to serve.
