I love sharing recipes from my family and this one comes from my Aunt Lana. She caters weddings and other parties and she always seems to have the most incredible recipes up her sleeve. I was first introduced to a version of this recipe probably 7 or 8 years ago at a party for my cousin.

At first glance, I was blown away by how colorful and just gosh-darned beautiful this little appetizer was. But I figured I probably wouldn’t be that into it. I mean, it’s just veggies after all. I was SO wrong!

The spread is made with sour cream and cream cheese and any type of fresh or dried herbs you have on hand. I used fresh chives and dill for this version and it was mouth-watering good.

Any veggies you like can be thrown into this recipe. I usually see what looks good at the Farmer’s Market and go from there. I do like to include red, yellow, and orange bell peppers each time because I think the colors are so vibrant and the peppers are nice and crunchy and sweet. I used broccoli and cucumber for some vibrant green hues and then sprinkled the whole thing with more fresh chives.

I served this at my Bacardi party a couple of weeks ago and it was gone so fast – you wouldn’t believe it! It’s so funny because people always think, “Oh. Here, let me have some vegetables so I can feel good about what I’m eating.” Then they try it and it’s like an epiphany - SO GOOD!

I use a pizza cutter or a large knife to cut these bites down to size and throw them on some white platters that really show off all the beautiful colors. Trust me, serve this at your next get-together this summer and watch them disappear :)

Spread chilled cream cheese mixture onto cooled crescent roll sheet.

Top with fresh veggies and additional chives if desired.

Use a pizza cutter or large knife to cut down to appetizer size pieces and serve.
