Ingredients:

Serving

2 cups uncooked basmati rice
1 can pineapple chunks, drained
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, leaves, coarsely chopped
1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 1/2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 lime, cut into wedges, for garnish

Directions:

1. Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Stir in the rice, reduce to a simmer. Cook until rice is tender but still firm, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain; rinse with cool water.
2. Transfer to a bowl, and stir in the pineapple, cilantro, bell pepper, and olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper. Cover, and chill. Serve cooled with lime wedges.
Note: This is also good with chopped fresh mint. If you have mint in your garden but no cilantro, I'd recommend it.
