In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.

Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.

Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.

Fluff the rice with a fork and add lime juice, lime zest, and chopped cilantro. Stir gently to combine.

Serve warm as a side dish.
