Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 450°F (230°C).
-
Prepare Dough: In a medium bowl, combine the Bisquick with boiling water and finely chopped green onions. Stir vigorously until a soft dough forms, beating it for about 20 strokes.
-
Shape Crust: Press the dough evenly into an ungreased 12-inch pizza pan, using your fingers dusted with Bisquick to prevent sticking. Pinch the edges to form a 1/2-inch rim, ensuring a well-defined crust.

Bake: Place the prepared crust in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 10 minutes or until it turns light golden brown. Once baked, allow it to cool for about 10 minutes.

-
Spread Topping: Evenly spread the creamy tuna mixture over the cooled crust, ensuring a smooth and consistent layer. For optimal flavor, refrigerate the topped crust for 1 to 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the mixture to chill.
-
Add Fresh Vegetables: Just before serving, generously top the chilled creamy tuna layer with 3 cups of mixed fresh vegetables. Get creative with your selection, incorporating diced bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, shredded carrots, and crisp cucumber slices for a vibrant and flavorful finish.
