Introduction

This Veggie Pizza Dip is a colorful, creamy appetizer perfect for parties or casual gatherings. Packed with fresh vegetables and cheesy ranch flavor, it’s a crowd-pleaser that’s easy to prepare and serve with chips or crackers.

The dish is a layered vegetable and cheese dip served in a white scalloped-edge bowl. The bottom layer is a creamy white base mixed with diced cucumbers and bits of broccoli, giving a soft texture. Above this, there is a thick layer of mixed vegetables including bright red cherry tomatoes, dark black olive slices, small green broccoli florets, and orange carrot pieces, providing varied colors and a fresh look. The top layer is covered with shredded yellow cheese, which adds a fine, slightly rough texture. There is a scoop taken out from the side, showing the creamy and chunky mix inside. In the background, a white plate holds round light beige crackers, all set on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 (8 ounce) cream cheese, softened
½ cup sour cream
1 (1 ounce) package ranch seasoning
1 cup carrots, diced
1 cup broccoli florets, diced
1 cup bell peppers, diced
¼ cup red onion, diced
¼ cup sliced black olives
½ cup tomatoes, diced
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and ranch seasoning. Mix until smooth and creamy, using a mixer for best results or stirring well by hand.
Step 2: Fold in ¾ cup of the diced carrots, bell peppers, broccoli, and cucumbers. Add the red onion, black olives, and ¾ cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, mixing gently to combine.
Step 3: Spread the mixture evenly in a serving dish or pie plate. Top with the remaining diced vegetables, tomatoes, and shredded cheese to create a colorful pizza look.
Step 4: Serve the dip immediately with your choice of chips or crackers, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Tips & Variations

Use a mix of your favorite colorful vegetables for added flavor and texture, such as cucumbers or cherry tomatoes.
For a spicy kick, add a dash of crushed red pepper flakes or a few chopped jalapeños to the dip.
Try swapping cheddar cheese for mozzarella for a milder, meltier texture.
Serve with pita chips, tortilla chips, or fresh vegetable sticks for a healthy option.

Storage

Store leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Before serving, give it a good stir and allow it to come to room temperature for about 15 minutes to enhance the flavors. If the dip thickens in the fridge, mix in a small splash of sour cream or milk to loosen it.

FAQs

Can I prepare this dip in advance?

Yes, you can prepare the dip a few hours ahead and refrigerate it. Add the fresh toppings just before serving to keep them crisp and vibrant.

What can I use if I don’t have ranch seasoning?
