The foundation of any great pizza is its crust, and for our Crisp & Colorful Cold Veggie Pizza Squares, using a sturdy flatbread is crucial. A robust base not only supports the toppings but also adds texture and flavor. Opt for whole-grain pita bread, lavash, or a thick tortilla to ensure your veggie pizza squares hold up under the weight of the toppings. These options provide a delightful crunch that contrasts beautifully with the creamy spread and fresh vegetables. When selecting your flatbread, look for one that is both flavorful and has a good thickness to prevent becoming soggy once the spread is applied.

Ingredients
  

1 large whole wheat or gluten-free flatbread

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1 cup Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)

1 bell pepper (red, yellow, or orange), finely diced

1 small cucumber, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 carrot, grated

1 cup baby spinach, chopped

ΒΌ cup black olives, sliced

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh basil, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: Start by laying the flatbread on a large cutting board or serving platter. This will be your pizza base.

    Make the Creamy Spread: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and dried Italian herbs. Whisk until smooth and well-blended. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

      Spread the Mixture: Evenly spread the creamy mixture over the flatbread, ensuring you cover the entire surface. This will serve as the flavorful base for the vegetables.

        Chop and Dice: Prepare your vegetables - finely dice the bell pepper, cucumber, and cherry tomatoes. Grate the carrot and chop the baby spinach.

          Layer the Veggies: Begin layering the diced bell pepper, cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, grated carrot, and chopped spinach across the cream cheese spread. Arrange them in an aesthetically pleasing way or mix them up for a more colorful appearance.

            Finish with Olives: Sprinkle the sliced black olives evenly over the top of the laid-out vegetables.

              Chill and Cut: Cover the pizza with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the pizza to cool. Once chilled, remove from the fridge and cut into squares or rectangles using a sharp knife.

                Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish with fresh basil leaves for an added burst of flavor and color. Enjoy your Crisp & Colorful Cold Veggie Pizza Squares as a refreshing appetizer or snack!
