Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup basmati rice
  • 1 ¾ cups water or vegetable broth
  • 1 ripe mango, diced

  • ½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with 1 ¾ cups of water or vegetable broth and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

  6. Prepare your mango and lime by dicing the mango and zesting and juicing the lime.
  7. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, diced mango, lime zest, lime juice, and chopped cilantro.
  8. Drizzle in the olive oil or coconut oil, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Gently stir everything together, being careful not to mash the mango pieces.
  10. Serve the mango lime rice in a beautiful bowl, garnished with lime wedges and extra cilantro if desired.
