Instructions
Thoroughly rinse the rice until the water runs clear. Place the rice and water in a medium pot. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook for 20 minutes. Off the heat. Let the rice rest for 10 minutes. Uncover, fluff with a fork and leave the rice uncovered until cool. Place the rice in a large bowl. Add the diced cucumber, mango, Mojito mint, cilantro, jalapeno, lime juice and canola oil. Gently toss to combine. Serve cold.
Tips
If you don't have Mojito Mint, you can use any fresh mint. It's important to thoroughly rinse then fluff the rice or it will be clumpy.
