Simple side dish that is a great accompaniment with many light summer dishes.

How to make it
- 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.
