(Submitted by Mary Ellen)

Mary Ellen writes: "Here's a recipe for people who love QUICK and 'I want some more of that!' The recipe came from a house party several years ago. This is really good stuff! I serve small bars with meat on the side for a very good, and quick, summer meal. Great for a large family or cook out with friends!"

INGREDIENTS

Crust

2 packages crescent rolls (do not separate). Press out thin, into 15 x 10 x 1-inch pan and bake 8-10 min. Cool completely before putting on the filling.

Filling ingredients

1 each of 3-oz. and 8-oz. cream cheese (softened)

1 cup mayonnaise

1 envelope Original Ranch dressing (dry).

Mix all together until smooth; spread on cooled crust.

Layer 3/4 cup of each on top of filling:

Grated carrots (about 2-3)
Chopped bell pepper (about 1/2 of large)
Cauliflower florets (cut small)
Broccoli (small pieces)
Tomatoes (chopped small)
Optional- finely chopped onion, celery or any other vegetable good for salads.
1 cup grated cheddar cheese sprinkled over top of veggies

Press all lightly and refrigerate to set. Cut into bars when ready to serve. Store in refrigerator.
