Introduction

This Cold Veggie Pizza is a delicious and refreshing appetizer perfect for gatherings or a light snack. Featuring a creamy ranch spread and a colorful mix of chopped vegetables on a crispy crescent dough crust, it’s easy to prepare and always a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

2 packages Pillsbury Crescent Dough Sheets
16 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 ounce dry ranch dip mix
4 cups assorted chopped vegetables (such as carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 2: Unroll the crescent dough sheets and place them on a half sheet pan. Press the edges together to seal and form one large crust that covers the pan.
Step 3: Bake the crust for 10 minutes or until it turns lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely for about 1 hour.
Step 4: In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, and dry ranch dip mix. Stir well until smooth and thoroughly mixed.
Step 5: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust using an off-set spatula or knife.
Step 6: Chop the assorted vegetables into small pieces and sprinkle them over the cream cheese layer.
Step 7: Cut the finished pizza into small squares and serve chilled.

Tips & Variations

Try adding different vegetables like cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, or cucumbers for extra color and flavor.
Use flavored cream cheese or add fresh herbs to the cream cheese mixture for a unique twist.
Make sure the crust is completely cooled before spreading the cream cheese mixture to prevent it from melting.
For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free dough crust or a sturdy cracker base instead of crescent dough.

Storage

Store any leftover veggie pizza covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. It is best served chilled, so reheating is not necessary. If you prefer, you can let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving for softer texture.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I prepare this pizza ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the crust and cream cheese mixture in advance. Assemble the veggies just before serving to keep them fresh and crisp.

What can I use if I don’t have ranch dip mix?

If you don’t have ranch dip mix, try seasoning the cream cheese mixture with garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, salt, and pepper to taste for a similar flavor.

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the crust.
Prepare Crust: Unroll the crescent dough sheets onto a half sheet pan. Press the edges together firmly to seal and create one large crust that evenly covers the pan.

Notes

Allowing the crust to cool completely before spreading the cream cheese mixture prevents it from melting and becoming soggy.
Feel free to customize the vegetable toppings with your favorites like bell peppers, cucumbers, or cherry tomatoes.
This recipe works well served fresh but can be refrigerated for a couple of hours before serving to keep the veggies crisp.
The crescent dough sheets create a buttery, flaky base without making the crust too thick.
For a lighter version, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt if desired.
