I LOVE to cook and have been on a kick of trying to recreate food that you get at restaurants. It helps us save money and has been really rewarding. I've been able to recreate most aspects of my favorite Mexican chicken salads but could never get the lime rice quite right. I was watching the noon news and they spotlighted this recipe. I haven't tried it yet but I couldn't resist sharing it with the dressing that has also eluded me.
