Cilantro Lime Rice
Bright, fresh, and zesty, Cilantro Lime Rice is the perfect side dish to elevate any meal. With fragrant cilantro and a tangy kick of lime, this easy recipe adds a refreshing twist to your favorite dishes.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups White Long Grain Rice, dry (approximately 4-5 cups cooked)
- 1 Lime, zest and juice
- ¾ cup Cilantro, rinsed and chopped
- Salt
Instructions
- Measure and rinse the white rice and follow your rice cooker instructions for water amount and cooking setting. If you're cooking the rice on your stovetop, you will need about 3 cups of water to cook 1 ½ cups of rice.
- While the rice is cooking, rinse and prepare your cilantro and lime.
- When the rice is finished, fluff the rice and add the zest of one lime, chopped cilantro, and add the juice by the tablespoon. I like to add a couple tablespoons and stir well. Make sure everything is incorporated evenly. Salt and add additional lime juice as needed.
Notes
-This recipe is the amount I make for a side and will serve about 4-5 people as a side dish portion.
-Don't add all of the lime juice at once or it could be too much liquid to rice ratio.
