Ingredients
  

1 large pre-made pizza crust (thin or thick, your choice)

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup sour cream

1 tbsp ranch seasoning mix

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 cup shredded carrots

1/2 cup diced bell peppers (red, yellow, and green for a colorful mix)

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup black olives, sliced

1/2 cup sliced cucumbers

1/4 cup green onions, chopped

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Fresh herbs for garnish (parsley, chives, or basil)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: Start by laying the pre-made pizza crust flat on a large cutting board or baking sheet.

    Make the Creamy Spread: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until creamy and well-blended.

      Spread the Mixture: Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over the entire surface of the pizza crust, ensuring it's coated all the way to the edges.

        Add the Veggies: Layer the shredded carrots, diced bell peppers, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced black olives, and cucumber slices over the creamy layer. Arrange the veggies in a colorful pattern to add visual appeal.

          Finish with Cheese and Herbs: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly across the top of the veggies. Finally, garnish with chopped green onions and your choice of fresh herbs for an aromatic touch.

            Chill the Pizza: Cover the veggie pizza with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until you are ready to serve. Chilling allows the flavors to meld and the pizza to firm up.

              Slice and Serve: Once chilled, remove the pizza from the refrigerator. Cut into squares or rectangles and serve cold. Enjoy your refreshing and colorful veggie treat!
