Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 1/4 cup cilantro diced
  • 1 tbs lime zest roughly 1 lime
  • 2 limes juiced
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Cook the 2 cups of rice. I prefer to use a rice cooker. Takes all of the work out of making rice.
  • Wash and then finely chop the Cilantro. The finer the better.
  • Next zest the limes and then juice the limes. Make sure to do it in that order. It is super hard (almost impossible) to zest a lime after it has been juiced.
  • Pour the rice into a large bowl. Fluff it with a fork and then add the juice, zest, cilantro and salt.
  • Mix really well and then set aside to mingle for a minute or two.
  • Serve.
