When I was younger, I remember my mom and my sister making veggie pizza. I think this recipe came from a magazine or on the back of a crescent roll tube. I loved this recipe, and it was made for a shower (bridal/baby) or any special get together. I especially loved the crescent roll crust, wasn’t as big of a fan with all the fresh veggies, ha!

Well, I thought it would be fun to makeover that nostalgic dish, because it is a wonderful way to enjoy your veggies!

Introducing mini veggie pizzas on pita bread! These delightful creations are made with a base of flavorful cream cheese spread atop pita bread, then with an array of raw chopped veggies and a sprinkle of cheese.

Whether served as a side dish or a satisfying main course, these no-cook mini pizzas add a burst of color and flavor to any meal. Get ready to elevate your plate with this fun and nutritious twist on pizza!

Minimal ingredients

I like to use a whole wheat pita bread, chopped fresh veggies (from the veggie tray, great way to use them up!), and any cream cheese or in my case, I have Trader Joe’s Everything but the Bagel Seasoning Yogurt Dip in my refrigerator.

I love to add more colors to your plate, meaning adding more fruits and vegetables to your plate to offer more health benefits!
