This is a yummy dip that Ron's awesome sister Julie makes for our family get togethers. I thought it was a perfect addition to the Tomato Bowl. Red Gold doesn't make a pizza sauce (that I could find) so it was a perfect opportunity to play around, and make my own. This is a really great dip, and will satisfy the taste buds of everyone (even any picky eaters you may have in the crowd). I used turkey pepperoni, but Julie found these adorable mini pepperoni for her dip. Unfortunately, I couldn't find them while I was out Tomato Bowl shopping. Depending on your pizza preference, you can load this up with veggie to make an even more supreme appetizer. Enjoy!
