Cilantro Lime Rice

Ingredients

  • 1 cup long-grain jasmine rice, rinsed well and drained
  • 1½ cups water
  • 3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 small garlic clove, finely minced
  • 2 scallions, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • ¼ to ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1½ tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • ½ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • Pinch red pepper flakes, or ¼ diced jalapeño, optional

Directions

  1. Combine the rice, water, and 1 teaspoon of the olive oil in a medium saucepan with a lid. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 20 minutes (or check the time listed on the package of your rice).
  2. Uncover and fluff with a fork. Add the garlic, scallions, and lime zest and stir to combine. Let cool for 1 minute, then add the remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil, ¼ teaspoon salt, lime juice, cilantro, and red pepper flakes or jalapeño, if using. Stir to combine and season to taste.

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 large avocado – peeled, pitted, and sliced

Directions

Combine arugula, tomatoes, pine nuts, Parmesan, oil, and vinegar in a large, lidded plastic bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then cover with the lid and shake to mix. Divide salad onto serving plates and top with avocado slices.
