Comments
Such a tasty and fun recipe for Fresh Veggie Pizza! It was perfect for using my windowsill herbs and makes a flavorful spread for sandwiches, wraps, and crackers as well. I love how versatile this recipe is, too, and I've experimented with different ingredients. Today, for the spread, I added fresh basil, chives, garlic, shredded carrots, onion powder, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. For the toppings, I added sun dried tomatoes, red onion, spinach, and shredded cheese to one half of the English muffin and topped the other half with fresh tomatoes, red onion, green onion, carrots, and baby lettuce. Both variations were so good, and now I have leftover spread to dip crackers and veggies in later.
These were a hit for lunch at our women's shelter. They are colorful and easy to eat.
