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

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

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

Fluff the rice with a fork, then stir in the chopped cilantro, lime juice, lime zest, and minced garlic until well combined.
