Ingredients
Scale
- 2 packages crescent roll dough
- 2 (8 oz or 250g) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 (28g) package Ranch dressing mix
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 cups cauliflower florets, chopped
- 2 cups broccoli florets, chopped
- 3 green onions, sliced
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Roll out the crescent dough on a large baking sheet, pressing the seams together to form a single flat layer. Slightly pinch the edges to create a crust border. Bake for about 12 minutes or until golden brown. Allow the crust to cool completely before assembling the rest of the dish.
- Mix the spread: In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, ranch mix, and mayonnaise. Use a hand mixer on low speed until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. This creamy blend will act as your “sauce” base.
- Spread the sauce: Gently spread the cream cheese mixture over the completely cooled crust. Use a spatula to ensure an even layer that reaches all edges.
- Add the toppings: Evenly distribute the chopped cauliflower, broccoli, green onions, and halved cherry tomatoes over the spread. Press them lightly into the surface so they stay in place when sliced.
- Finish and serve: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Cut the pizza into squares or strips, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld. Serve cold and enjoy.
Notes
- To save time, use pre-chopped veggie blends from the grocery store. Make sure the crust is completely cool before adding the spread, or it will melt and become runny. For extra crunch, consider adding sunflower seeds or crushed pretzels as a topping just before serving.
