1 cup long grain rice
2 cups plus 2 tablespoons water, divided
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tablespoons olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
Combine the rice, 2 cups of water and salt in a medium saucepan set oven medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stir briefly, cover and reduce the heat to low. Let cook, covered until the water is absorbed and the rice is fluffy and tender, 16 to 18 minutes. (Cooking time may vary, check package directions.)
While the rice is cooking, combine the cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, and 2 tablespoons water in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Stir the mixture into the cooked rice and fluff with a fork.
