Sometimes I just crave pizza. You know – the gooey, melt-y cheese, the spicy meats, the abundance of veggies. That doesn’t mean that I always want to make a pizza, though, or that I’m interested in the crust, because as good as it can be, somehow I never get hungry for that specific part.
That’s when I started making this dip. It has all the richness and yumminess of a pizza without the work or carbs of a crust. It’s fun and share-able, and you can even use raw veggies, crackers, or baked pitas as the dippers.
Even better, you can top the dip with your favorite pizza toppings, so you can really customize it to suit you.
