Ingredients
  

1 large flour tortilla or flatbread

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix

1 cup shredded carrots

1 cucumber, finely diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 bell pepper (red or yellow), diced

½ cup black olives, sliced

1/4 cup green onions, chopped

1 cup baby spinach, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil for drizzling (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: Lay the flour tortilla or flatbread on a large cutting board or platter.

    Make the Spread: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and ranch seasoning mix. Blend until smooth and creamy. If desired, add a pinch of salt and pepper.

      Spread Evenly: Using a spatula, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the tortilla, reaching the edges to create a beautiful base for your veggies.

        Layer the Veggies:

          - Start by sprinkling the shredded carrots evenly over the cream cheese layer.

            - Follow with the diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and diced bell pepper, ensuring an even distribution.

              - Add the sliced black olives and chopped green onions next, and then finish with the chopped baby spinach.

                Garnish: Sprinkle fresh dill over the top for an added flavor punch (if using) and a touch of color.

                  Cut Into Squares: Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, carefully slice the pizza into small squares or rectangles, approximately 2x2 inches each.

                    Chill and Serve: For best results, cover the pizza squares with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.

                      Optional Drizzle: Before serving, if desired, drizzle a little olive oil over the top for an extra layer of flavor.

                        Enjoy these refreshing Cold Veggie Pizza Squares as a delightful appetizer or a light lunch packed with goodness!
