Mmmmmm! This is fresh and tasty! It's simple...it would actually be perfect for a warm summer night because it's cool and crisp! It's cilantro lime infused brown rice with cucumber, avocado, sour cream, feta cheese, and salsa. It is so easy!
Ingredients:
1 Cup brown rice (or any rice you choose)
1-2 tablespoons lime juice (I just use one lime, you can use more depending on how juicy the lime is)
1 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 handfuls fresh cilantro, chopped
1 cup lettuce, shredded
Sour Cream
Avocado, diced
Cucumber, peeled and diced
Feta cheese (optional)
Salsa (optional)
1. Cook 1 cup of rice according to package directions. While water was coming to a boil I squeezed in the lime juice, 1 Tablespoon olive oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 handful of chopped cilantro, then added rice and simmered per package.
2. After the rice is done, fluff with a fork and add 1/2 tablespoon more of olive oil and 1 handful fresh cilantro. Fluff with fork.
3. Shred I cup lettuce and top with rice mixture, diced cucumber, avocado, and sour cream.
4. Salt and pepper to taste.
5. I added feta cheese and a little bit of salsa this time.
Play around with this! Sometimes use chicken or vegetable broth to cook the rice for more flavor, or add different things to it! I love it as is...but it was originally introduced to me without the feta and salsa, I just added it tonight and it was a great addition :)
Enjoy!
