Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, honey, garlic, and cumin. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, gently toss together the rice, tomato, jalapeno, cilantro, and green onions. Drizzle with the dressing and salt and pepper to taste. Gently toss in avocado, and serve immediately, or refrigerate. **I like to mix everything but the avocado, and chill for a couple hours before serving. Just toss the avocado in before you serve so it stays nice and green.
