Description

This Cold Veggie Pizza is a classic potluck favorite made with a flaky crescent dough crust, creamy ranch-cream cheese spread, and topped with crisp, colorful veggies. It’s the perfect refreshing, crowd-pleasing appetizer for any gathering or party!


Ingredients

For the Flaky Crust:

2 packages Pillsbury Crescent Dough Sheets (or regular crescent rolls, seams pressed together into a rectangle)

16 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature

½ cup mayonnaise

1 packet (1 oz) dry ranch dip mix (or DIY: 1 tsp dill, 1 tsp seasoned salt, ½ tsp garlic powder)

For the Fresh Veggie Topping:

4 cups assorted chopped vegetables (such as broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots—finely chopped)


Instructions

1. Bake the Crust:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

  • Unroll both crescent dough sheets onto a 15×10-inch baking sheet, pressing the seams to seal.

  • Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden.

  • Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on the sheet (this will take at least 30 minutes).

2. Mix the Ranch Spread:

  • In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and ranch mix (or DIY seasonings) until smooth and lump-free.

3. Assemble the Pizza:

  • Spread the ranch mixture evenly over the cooled crust, edge to edge.

  • Distribute the chopped vegetables evenly on top, pressing gently to adhere.

4. Chill & Serve:

  • Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

  • Once chilled, cut the pizza into 24 squares using a pizza cutter or sharp knife.

  • Serve cold.

Notes

DIY Ranch: Skip the packet by whisking 1 tsp dill, 1 tsp seasoned salt, and ½ tsp garlic powder into your spread.

Make-Ahead: You can assemble through step 4 up to 8 hours before serving. Just add the veggies and chill closer to serving time.

Veggie Variations: Swap in finely diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, or sliced olives for added variety.

Storage: Store covered in the fridge for up to 24 hours, though the crust may soften over time.
