Ingredients
  

1 pre-made rectangular pizza crust (gluten-free optional)

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix (or herb blend of choice)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup cucumber, diced

1 cup bell peppers (red, yellow, and green), chopped

1 cup shredded carrots

1 cup black olives, sliced

1 cup spinach, finely chopped

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

1-2 tablespoons olive oil (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the crust: Start by laying the pre-made pizza crust on a cutting board or serving platter. If using a gluten-free crust, make sure it's fully cooked and cooled before proceeding.

    Make the spread: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and ranch seasoning mix. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

      Spread the mixture: Evenly spread the cream cheese and yogurt mixture over the entire surface of the pizza crust, ensuring to cover it right to the edges.

        Layer the veggies: Starting with the cherry tomatoes, arrange them evenly over the cream cheese spread. Follow with the diced cucumber, chopped bell peppers, shredded carrots, sliced olives, and finally the chopped spinach. Feel free to create fun patterns or sections to highlight the vibrant colors.

          Drizzle with olive oil (optional): For an added touch of flavor, drizzle olive oil over the topped veggies.

            Refrigerate: Cover the veggie pizza with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour. This allows the flavors to meld together and the cream cheese spread to firm up.

              Cut into squares: Once chilled, use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice the pizza into bite-sized squares (about 2x2 inches).

                Serve: Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving, and enjoy your refreshing cold veggie pizza squares at gatherings or as a snack!
