Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rice
  • 3 cups fresh tender herbs (like basil, cilantro, dill, chives)
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise 
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon capers
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 34 anchovies (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup zucchini, diced
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen corn
  • 2 Tbsp feta cheese
  • 2 Tbsp cilantro, chopped 
  • 1/2 lime, juiced
  • extras/toppings: black beans, grape tomatoes, leaf lettuce

Instructions

  1. Cook your rice per package directions.
  2. Meanwhile, make the green goddess dressing. Add herbs through anchovies (if using) to a food processor or blender and run until smooth and creamy. Stream in water until pourable (I usually use 1/4-1/2 cup). Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
  3. Heat olive oil in a small skillet and sauté zucchini for a minute or two until browed. Season with salt and pepper. Combine with corn, feta, cilantro and lime in a small bowl.
  4. To assemble the bowls: layer rice, beans, corn salsa, tomatoes and lettuce. Drizzle a generous amount of the green goddess dressing over the top.

  • You can sub store-bought salsas for both the corn and tomatoes if you wish! Go crazy with toppings: guacamole, shredded cabbage, fajita veggies.
