So ridiculously excited to share this cilantro lime rice with you and claim it as one of the best that I’ve had.
Cilantro is another food I have grown to appreciate as an adult. There are many cilantro lime rice recipes out there and it never stood out to me as something more than flavored rice for a taco or burrito. I began to play around with this side dish until I had the perfect combination of flavors to make my mouth say wow!
Secret Ingredients inside this Cilantro Lime Rice Recipe
The two secret ingredients that gave this dish it’s extra pop of flavor are the bay leaf and splash of lemon juice. The bay leaf gives the white rice extra flavor, while the lemon juice helps bring out more of that citrusy lime taste. Now, most cilantro lime rice does not call for green onion, but for myself it is a must have, giving this side more texture and beautiful flavor complimenting every component. Serve this dish at room temperature or as a cold side to any gathering for a side that will please a crowd.
