Christmas Veggie Wreath

My friend, The Domestic Goddess (or at least pretending to be), posted this recipe and I thought it sounded perfect to take to an upcoming Christmas party. I changed it up just a little (cheated, actually, by using the philly veggie spread), but overall it was super easy to make, and it was delicious! It was also a big hit at the party, and we only brought a tiny bit home. 

Here is my recipe, modified from the original (linked above):

2	tubes (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent rolls
1	container Philadelphia brand Garden Veggie spread
1	– 1½ cups chopped fresh broccoli florets
1	cup finely chopped celery
1	finely chopped red bell pepper
A few	red cabbage leaves or lettuce leaves

Remove crescent dough from packaging (do not unroll). Cut each tube into eight slices. Arrange in an 11-in circle on an ungreased 14-in pan. Bake at 375 for 15 – 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes before carefully removing to a serving platter; cool completely.

Spread the cream cheese over wreath; top with broccoli, celery and red pepper. Form a bow garnish with cabbage or lettuce leaves. Yield: 16 servings

And here is the finished wreath! I love the colors - it all looked so festive!
