Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 2 packages Pillsbury Crescent Dough Sheets

Spread

  • 16 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 ounce dry ranch dip mix

Topping

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the crust.
  2. Prepare Crust: Unroll the crescent dough sheets and place them onto a half-sheet pan. Press the sheets together firmly to seal the edges, creating one large crust that covers the entire pan surface.
  3. Bake Crust: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until it becomes lightly golden. After baking, remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely for about 1 hour.
  4. Make Spread: In a mixing bowl, combine the room-temperature cream cheese, mayonnaise, and dry ranch dip mix. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  5. Spread Mixture: Use an offset spatula to evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust, covering it completely.
  6. Add Vegetables: Chop the assorted vegetables into small pieces for easy eating. Sprinkle them evenly over the cream cheese spread on the crust.
  7. Serve: Cut the veggie pizza into small squares and serve immediately as a refreshing cold appetizer.

Notes

  • You can use any crunchy vegetables you like such as bell peppers, cucumbers, or cherry tomatoes for variety.
  • Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier spreading and a smoother texture.
  • This pizza is best served chilled or at room temperature, not heated again after assembly.
  • For a healthier option, use light mayonnaise and reduced-fat cream cheese.
  • Make ahead: Prepare the crust and spread up to a day in advance, then add veggies just before serving.
