Ingredients
  

1 large whole wheat pita bread

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix

1 cup cucumber, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup bell pepper, diced (any color)

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1/2 cup black olives, sliced

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh arugula or spinach leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pita Base: Lay the whole wheat pita bread flat on a clean cutting board or large plate. If you prefer a crispier texture, you can lightly toast the pita in a toaster oven until it’s golden and slightly crunchy.

    Mix the Cream Cheese: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and ranch seasoning mix. Mix well until fully integrated and creamy.

      Spread the Cream Cheese: Evenly spread the ranch cream cheese mixture over the pita bread, reaching all the way to the edges for maximum flavor.

        Add Veggies: Evenly distribute the diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, diced bell pepper, chopped red onion, and sliced black olives over the cream cheese layer. Try to arrange the veggies in a colorful pattern for a vibrant look.

          Season the Toppings: Lightly sprinkle salt and pepper over the vegetables. If using, add the fresh dill for an extra burst of flavor.

            Slice into Squares: Use a sharp knife to cut the veggie-topped pita into squares or triangles—whatever shape you prefer!

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

                Garnish & Enjoy: Once chilled, serve the squares garnished with fresh arugula or spinach leaves for added freshness.
