Sarasota's Almond Citrus Rice Pilaf image

A easy flavorful rice dish. I serve with this with many seafood dishes or just a nice side to Mexican dishes as well. Serve this with my recipe #407148. It is a great compliment.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think I would have liked it better if I had added some more herbs or spices.
