School ends (for us) next Friday, and I’m already looking forward to all the fun parties and get-togethers we will have this summer. One of the first recipes that popped into my mind when it comes to those summer potlucks is this vegetable pizza. It’s served cold, and tastes fresh with the crunchy vegetables on top.

I’m typically not a fan of cold pizza, but this is my one and only exception because it’s meant to be eaten cold. It’s dang good that way too!
I’ve had this vegetable pizza at baby showers, bridal showers, and ladies’ nights. It’s just one of those things you know everyone will love because it’s easy and delicious!
My version of this cold vegetable pizza is inspired by a vegetable tray you would get from the produce section. The only thing missing is celery, which you can add if you want to. I like that the veggies and ranch are all encompassed into one vegetable pizza. Which I feel is easier to eat, rather than having to dip vegetables into ranch dressing on a plate.
Another thing I love about this vegetable pizza is that I can make it ahead of time and it still tastes fresh several days later. The dough is soft, yet sturdy, the cream cheese ranch spread doesn’t make the bread soggy, and the vegetables stay crisp since they are raw.
There isn’t a reason I can think of to not make this, so if you haven’t tried it — get to it! You can swap any of the vegetables to your liking. Use up those garden veggies on this vegetable pizza!

I love the great looking veggie pizza you have there. I might try this out since the pizza can be made ahead of time since it still tastes fresh even after a few days later as you’ve mentioned. As for now, I’ll have to get a pizza take out after I’ve done the groceries since I’m craving for a pizza already. Thanks for sharing such a healthy and yummy recipe for a vegetable pizza!
