How To Make Veggie Pizza Dip
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and dry ranch seasoning. Stir until smooth and well blended.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly into a shallow serving dish.
- Evenly sprinkle the chopped vegetables over the top—broccoli, cucumber, carrots, and red bell pepper work well. Finish with a generous sprinkling of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Cover and chill for about 1 hour to let the flavors meld and to serve cold.
- Serve with crackers, tortilla chips, pretzels, breadsticks, or fresh vegetable dippers.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days. Stir gently before serving again; if the vegetables become soggy, refresh with a small amount of additional chopped fresh vegetables and cheese.
Tips and Variations
- For a lighter version, use reduced-fat cream cheese or Greek yogurt in place of sour cream.
- Change up the vegetables: cherry tomatoes, green onions, or sliced olives make tasty additions.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the base for a spicy kick.
- Make it ahead: prepare the base and refrigerate, then add vegetables and cheese just before serving to keep them crisp.
