Start with the base – Choose a fresh leafy green or grain to create your foundation.

Cook your protein – Grill or pan-fry your patty with seasoning. Crumble or slice it before adding.

Layer the toppings – Think in textures: soft (avocados), crunchy (onions, pickles), and juicy (tomatoes).

Add cheese – Melted over the meat or shredded on top.

Drizzle your sauce – Keep it balanced—not swimming in dressing.

Garnish smart – Add sesame seeds, herbs, or crushed nuts for a finishing touch.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Overdressing the bowl: Too much sauce can drown flavors.
• Skipping seasoning: Even though it’s a bowl, season everything as you would a burger.
• Using wet lettuce: Dry your greens thoroughly to avoid watery bites.
• Imbalanced textures: Aim for a combo of creamy, crispy, and crunchy in each bite.
