"Just in time for summer entertaining. I've had this Simple & Delicious recipe and decided I better get it on Zaar before I lost it. This is a great vegie pizza that can be served at outdoor gatherings, potlucks or just for the heck of it. Easy to make and everyone loves it. I serve as an appetizer during cocktail hour."

ingredients

1 (11 ounce) package refrigerated breadstick dough
1 teaspoon olive oil
¹⁄₂ teaspoon minced garlic
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
¹⁄₂ teaspoon dried oregano
1 (14 ounce) can water-packed artichoke hearts, rinsed, drained and chopped, divided

³⁄₄ cup chopped tomato
¹⁄₃ cup coarsely chopped peeled cucumber
¹⁄₃ cup sliced black olives, drained

directions

Unroll breadsticks. In the center of an ungreased 12-in. pizza pan, loosely wrap one breadstick around, forming a coil. Add another breadstick, pinching ends to seal and continuing to coil. Repeat with remaining breadsticks.
Roll or pat dough to within 1/2 inches of the edge of the pan. Brush with oil. Gently press garlic onto dough. Bake at 375° for 14-16 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
In a small bowl, combine cream cheese and oregano. Stir in 1/4 cup artichokes and half of the feta cheese; spread over crust. Arrange remaining artichokes on top. Sprinkle with tomato, cucumber, olives, onion, pine nuts and remaining feta cheese. Drizzle with vinaigrette.

I made this to take to work for a "pig out". It went well. Several people asked for the recipe. Easy to make and a nice change from the regular veggie pizza that's often made for an appetizer or snack. I liked the overall flavor it had. Will be making this again!

I don't think there's anything better than spending time with family and friends and enjoying delicious food together. I just love food. I love reading about food, writing about food, cooking food and.. not surprisingly, eating food. My latest passion is food-photography! I'm still learning a lot, but I'm trying to post photos with all my recipes and reviews. I read recipe books, magazines and food blogs like novels. I get such satisfaction when someone enjoys a meal or dessert that I have prepared. It is the biggest compliment to me when my family and friends rave about my cooking. There are so many terrific recipes on this site. If I'm looking for something, I'm sure to find it here. I do have stacks of my own favorite recipes which I am slowly but surely getting in my cookbooks here . I have had so many awesome reviews and fabulous photos taken of my recipes... I try to thank everyone personally .. I sincerely appreciate each and every review and or comment left. I know it takes time to photograph and upload photos - So I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for finding and trying my recipes and taking the extra effort...
