Fresh Cilantro Lime Rice
This homemade Fresh Cilantro Lime Rice is bursting with flavor, as well as color. My version is a little bit different from the original, but you've got to trust me on this! The vibrant green sauce is packed with fresh ingredients and gets blended until smooth, before mixing it into the cooked rice. This healthy side dish can be made ahead of time and even frozen for up to 3 months.
