Yes, I still have more appetizer recipes to share with you thanks to the ridiculous amount of them that I made for Super Bowl Sunday. Ohmygoodness. They were all sooooo good too.

I know there are probably a bunch of recipes for this cold veggie pizza out there, but it’s so good and easy, I had to share my version. I’ve made this a LOT, and have found that people enjoy it any time of year. It’s cold and refreshing in the summer, and it’s an unexpected…
