With hints of spring in the air, I am craving light, fresh foods. One of my favorites is rice bowls with lots of fresh produce and grilled proteins. Adding some simple seasonings to the rice can take your rice bowl from basic to AMAZING!
Easy Coconut Lime Rice is the perfect base or side to go with so many dishes! The subtle flavor of the coconut milk, fresh cilantro, and brightness of the lime enhance the fragrance and flavors of Basmati rice.
The other thing I love is how easy it is to make this! Five minutes of prep and then let the rice cooker do the work! Try it with my Grilled Mahi Mahi and top it with grilled asparagus or a variation of my Pineapple Salsa!
