Introduction

This Veggie Pizza Dip is a creamy, colorful appetizer that combines fresh vegetables with tangy ranch flavor and melted cheddar cheese. It’s perfect for parties or a casual snack and loved by both kids and adults.

A white deep round dish holds a layered vegetable dip with four visible layers. The bottom layer is a creamy white base mixed with small bits of green and orange vegetables. On top of that is a thick layer of diced fresh vegetables including bright green broccoli florets, dark green cucumber, orange carrot bits, and red tomato pieces. The next layer is a topping of shiny black olive slices scattered among the vegetables. The top layer is a generous sprinkling of shredded yellow cheddar cheese covering the dip unevenly. Part of the dip is scooped out, showing the creamy inside and vegetable pieces. In the background, a white plate with round crackers rests on a wooden board over a white marbled surface.

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: Place softened cream cheese, sour cream, and ranch seasoning in a large bowl. Mix until completely combined and creamy. A mixer works best, but you can stir by hand.
Step 2: Stir in ¾ cup of the diced carrots, bell peppers, broccoli, and cucumber. Add the red onions, olives, and ¾ cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, mixing well.

Step 3: Spread the mixture evenly in a serving dish or pie plate. Top with the remaining vegetables, diced tomatoes, and the remaining cheese.
Step 4: Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Tips & Variations

For a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce or sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes in the mix.

Substitute the cheddar cheese with mozzarella or pepper jack for a different flavor.
Try adding other fresh veggies like cucumber or zucchini for extra crunch and color.

Storage

Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Before serving, let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften slightly. This dip does not freeze well, so it’s best enjoyed fresh.
