Cold Veggie Pizza Appetizer

Cold Veggie Pizza is a tried and true appetizer recipe that’s been in my recipe box since the 1990s. Start with a crescent roll crust, then top with a cream cheese spread topped with fresh veggies and cheddar cheese.

This is an old recipe but I haven’t made it in so long that it seems new. On Saturday night, I went to a wine and painting party with some girlfriends and needed to bring an appetizer. I knew I wouldn’t be able to keep it warm, so I figured something cold would work best. This Cold Veggie Pizza Appetizer was perfect. Right, girls? We didn’t have a chance to eat dinner beforehand either. With lots of veggies, plus protein from shredded cheese and a greek yogurt ranch topping, this was a very satisfying snack. And the painting was so much fun!

What is Cold Veggie Pizza?

The base is refrigerated crescent roll dough, baked on a sheet pan.

The spread is made with cream cheese, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt and ranch dressing.

Top with your favorite fresh veggies and shredded cheese.

It’s so incredibly good!

Cold Veggie Pizza Appetizer would be great for the super bowl or any football party. My husband loved it. He begged me to make this again and often. It could even be a light lunch.

How to Make Cold Veggie Pizza

1. Start by mixing up the ranch spread. Place the cream cheese, mayo, Greek yogurt and a package of Ranch dressing powder in a large bowl. You can mix it by hand but I think it comes out creamier when you use an electric mixer. Set aside.

2) Unroll 2 cans of crescent roll dough onto a large cookie sheet. Bake and let cool. Spread the ranch spread over cooled crescent crust.

3) Top with chopped, fresh brocoli, red peppers, green onions and shredded cheddar cheese.

4) Slice it up and serve.

Make this Cold Veggie Pizza Appetizer at your next party and watch it disappear.
