Ranch Veggie Bars
Have you ever had these types of bars before? I have gone almost 29 years (let’s not talk about that) without ever having one. HOW?
This is so right up my alley…and I have been to a million potlucks, football parties and baby showers and I have never seen these before!
For Easter we had a little unconventional dinner and my friend Kerri (of Kerri’s Tuna Pasta Salad) brought these Ranch Veggie Bars. At first I thought they were some strange dip, but then I realized they were bars.
After my first bite I was hooked and ate 3 in a minute. They are seriously so good and I like to pretend they are totally healthy with all the fresh raw veggies on top.
These Ranch Veggie Bars are crazy easy to make and only take a little work from you. The base is crescent dough, then a layer of creamy ranch and topped with broccoli, carrots and cauliflower.
I wish I could give you all a bite of these to really sell you on them — but I swear you are going to love them so much you will want to eat an entire pan in one sitting.
You can make these up to 24 hours before…so they make the perfect appetizer for a party, potluck or bridal shower! Just make sure you keep them chilled until serving time!

Can you believe I’ve never had these either?? OMG!! These look so SO good. All those crunchy veggies on top!!!!
Where I’m from (SW Ohio), we call this “Veggie Pizza”. 🙂
I have never had one of these before and I am going to say right now that it will change starting today! They look so good!
I can imagine how delicious these are!
I do remember these, they are so freaking good! I haven’t seen them for years. Now I have to go and make some! 🙂
My mother in law makes something similar, and they’re SO tasty!!!
I’d never seen these before now! What a fun idea. And they use crescent rolls?! One of my favorite things. Ever!
This would make a fabulous addition to any picnic or potluck! I bet it would be the first thing to go!
I grew up calling this veggie pizza and I LOVED it as a kid. When we would go to parties and I saw it on the table I would fill up my plate with squares!
Didn’t you mean two .5 oz. packets of ranch mix rather than two .05 oz. packets?
My mom has made these for years and they’re always a hit at parties! She calls it Veggie Pizza and she puts the veggies in the food processor so they’re very finely chopped and just spreads them over the ranch dip layer. So yummy!!!
