Greek Festival Lemon Rice Pilaf image

Every September Salt Lake has an amazing Greek Festival. Back in 2001 I got a pamphlet of Greek recipes from the festival. This rice pilaf is very similar to the rice pilaf served at my favorite Greek restaurant. Opa!

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra lemon juice and herbs to give it more flavor.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover rice. I also like to add some chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro, for extra flavor.
