What you need:
(click + to add ingredients to your shopping list)
+ 1 c. cooked ham, diced
+ 1/2 c. chive and onion cream cheese spread
+ 2 Tbsp. caesar dressing
+ 1 large apple, seeded and chopped
+ 1/2 c. red or green seedless grapes, quartered
+ 1/2 c. red onion, finely chopped
+ 1/4 c. green bell pepper, diced
+ 2 (8-oz.) cans refrigerated crescent rolls
+ 1 egg, beaten
+ 1/4 c. almonds, finely chopped
+ non-stick cooking spray
What to do:
1. In large bowl, blend cream cheese spread and dressing. Add ham, apple, grapes, onion and green pepper; gently stir until coated. Set aside.
2. Line a large baking sheet with heavy foil. Lightly coat with nonstick cooking spray. Unroll both cans of crescent rolls and separate. On prepared baking sheet arrange triangles overlapping with shortest side of each roll toward center leaving 5-in. circle open in center. Points of crescent dough may hang over edge of baking sheet. Press overlapping dough to flatten and close center circle to 4-in.
3. Spoon mixture evenly over widest part of dough. Pull points of dough over filling and tuck dough under dough in center to form ring. (Some filling will be visible.)
4. Brush dough evenly with beaten egg and sprinkle with almonds. Bake in preheated oven at 375°F for 25-30 min. or until golden and pastry in inner circle is baked. (If necessary, loosely cover outer edge of pastry with foil during the last 10 min. of baking to prevent over-browning.) Remove from oven and cool on baking sheet for 5 min. Using large spatula, carefully slide onto large serving platter.*

* If desired, use foil to lift and transfer pastry ring to serving platter. Cut foil in center of ring and underneath pastry ring; pull foil pieces to remove.
