- In a mixing bowl, combine 8 oz. cream cheese, 1 cup Miracle Whip, 1/4 tsp. Tabasco sauce, 2 tsp. horseradish, 1/2 chopped onion, and 1 pkg. ranch dressing mix (or Italian dressing mix) together until smooth and well blended.
- Spread the seasoned cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crescent crust.
- Arrange your choice of sliced assorted vegetables (such as celery, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, green pepper, red pepper, mushrooms, and cucumbers) attractively over the spread.
- Top with grated Cheddar cheese.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving cold.
💡 Make-Ahead & Storage: Can be assembled a few hours ahead of time and kept chilled in the refrigerator. Best served the same day to keep the crescent crust crisp.
