- 3 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)
- ½ cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped

Rinse the rice in a fine-mesh strainer under cold running water, stirring with your hand, until the water runs mostly clear, about 30 seconds. Drain well.

Combine the rinsed rice, water, olive oil, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover tightly, and cook until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 15 minutes.
