Rainbow Buddha Bowls Dressed to Impress Dairy-Free Kids

The bowls themselves are tasty, but it’s the dressing that ties it all together. The original recipe uses yogurt dressing, but there are many dairy-free alternatives that are just as delicious.

You can top these Rainbow Buddha Bowls with your family’s favorite store-bought dairy-free salad dressing. Daiya Creamy Dressings are allergy-friendly and popular, but we really like Goddess Dressing on bowls like this.

Or you can use a delicious homemade dairy-free salad dressing. Some that we love for this recipe include Creamy Lemon Poppy Seed Dressing, Thai Peanut Dressing, Anti-Inflammatory Dressing, Maple-Miso Dressing, and the Five-Star Ranch Dressing recipe in Go Dairy Free: The Ultimate Guide and Cookbook (page 285).

Editor Note: Jodi doesn't specify salt and pepper amounts, but we prefer to. I would start with ¼ teaspoon salt and ⅛ teaspoon pepper, and add more if the seasoning appears to sparse.
