Cilantro Lime Rice (Low FODMAP)

Bright, fresh, and easy to make, this Low FODMAP Cilantro Lime Rice is the perfect side dish for tacos, grilled chicken, or burrito bowls. Made with fragrant white rice, zesty lime, and fresh cilantro, it’s packed with flavor without any high-FODMAP ingredients.

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice:

Rinse the rice under cold water. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add rice and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes (or until the water is absorbed and rice is tender).

  1. Fluff and flavor:

Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Then fluff with a fork.

  1. Add flavorings:

Drizzle with garlic-infused oil. Stir in lime zest, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Taste and add more lime juice or salt if needed.

 

Pro tip: Add more lime zest for extra punch or stir in diced cucumber or the green tops of scallions if you want a little crunch or color.

This recipe is easy to batch-cook and keeps well, making it great for meal prep or quick weeknight dinners.
