Instructions
- Rinse the long grain white rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
- In a small pot, combine the rinsed rice and water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

- After 15 minutes, remove the pot from heat and let it rest covered for 5 minutes to finish cooking.
- Fluff the cooked rice gently with a fork to separate the grains.
- Add the chopped fresh cilantro leaves, fresh lime juice, extra virgin olive oil, and a pinch of salt to the rice.
- Mix all ingredients thoroughly but gently to combine the flavors evenly.
- Serve the cilantro lime rice warm as a side dish to your favorite meals.
Tips
