In a medium skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add chopped onion, grated carrot, diced zucchini, and diced red bell pepper. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and vibrant.

Stir in minced garlic, salt, black pepper, dried Italian seasoning, and paprika. Cook for an additional minute until the garlic is fragrant.

Remove skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly for about 5-10 minutes.

Transfer the cooled mixture to a mixing bowl. Add softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, shredded mozzarella, chopped parsley, and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly until creamy.

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to meld flavors.
