Green Goddess Rice Bowl with Burrata Recipe FAQs
How do I make a rice bowl more filling?
Add a protein like grilled chicken, tofu, or hard-boiled eggs. In this recipe, burrata adds creaminess and richness without much effort.
Can I meal prep this rice bowl?
Yes. Prep the rice and toppings ahead of time and store them separately. Assemble and drizzle with dressing just before serving to keep everything fresh.
What dressing goes with rice bowls?
Green goddess dressing is a great match for rice bowls with greens and herbs. It adds tang and brightness and complements ingredients like avocado and spinach.
What makes this different from other rice bowl recipes?
The burrata. It’s not a typical rice bowl topping, but it brings a cool contrast to the warm rice and greens, making each bite creamy and bold.
What if I can’t find burrata?
No worries. You can swap in fresh mozzarella, a dollop of ricotta, or even a soft-boiled egg for that creamy element. The bowl still works—it just gets a slightly different vibe.
