Rice is a great inexpensive side dish to add your dinner, but it is often bland and boring. This healthy Lime Cilantro Rice is neither bland, nor boring and will have your family asking you to make more of it!
Lime Cilantro Rice Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 Cups rice (jasmine, basmati, brown, white, wholegrain, pilau etc)
- 4 Cups water
- Pinch of salt

Directions:
Step 1: Boil the water in a kettle.
