Colorful Crab Appetizer Pizza

There are a few things on this that I do not use - I do not use the lemon peel, and I do not use the olives. I do use the lemon juice though. I make this at Christmas time for the red and green colors, but it is great anytime!

Ingredients


1 tube (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened

1-1/2 cups coarsely chopped fresh spinach, divided

1 green onion, thinly sliced

1-1/2 teaspoons minced fresh dill or 1/2 teaspoon dill weed

1 teaspoon grated lemon peel, divided

1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

1/8 teaspoon pepper

1-1/4 cups chopped imitation crabmeat

1/4 cup chopped ripe olives

Directions

Unroll crescent roll dough and place on an ungreased 12-in. pizza pan. Flatten dough, sealing seams and perforations. Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned; cool.

In a small bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Stir in 1 cup spinach, onion, dill, 1/2 teaspoon lemon peel, lemon juice and pepper. Spread over the crust. Top with the crab, olives and remaining spinach and lemon peel. Cut into bite-size squares. Yield: 8-10 servings.
