     1 sweet onion, thinly sliced

     1 medium yellow squash, sliced

     One 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened

     1/2 cup ranch dressing (optional)

     1/2 cup sour cream

     4 Roma tomatoes, sliced

     1 cup fresh basil leaves

     2 cloves garlic, minced

     1/2 cup shredded mozzarella

     1/2 cup shredded Parmesan

Directions

You can use your favorite store bought healthy pizza

crust/dough, or make your own.  Servings 8.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Bake the store bought pizza crust about 2 1/2 minutes. 

Remove from the oven, and let cool for 10 minutes.

For the veggie topping: In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions, squash and zucchini and saute until lightly browned, about 10 minutes

Combine the cream cheese, ranch dressing, sour cream and a pinch of sea salt and pepper.  Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the pizza crust, leaving a 1-inch border.  Arrange the vegetables and the tomatoes over the cheese, then top with basil leaves.  Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and garlic. Top with the mozzarella and Parmesan and bake directly on the oven rack until golden, about 8 minutes.  Remove from the oven, and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into wedges.
