Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine the 1.5 cups cooked rice and 0.5 cup coconut milk. Warm over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the rice is creamy and hot, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
While the rice warms, slice the 1 cucumber into thin rounds, peel and grate the 1 carrot, and chop the 1 tomato into bite-size pieces.
Step 3
In a bowl, toss the cucumber, carrot, and tomato with the juice of the 1 lime and a pinch of salt. Let sit for 2 minutes so the vegetables soften slightly.
Step 4
Spoon the coconut rice into a bowl and top with the lime-tossed vegetables. Add fresh cilantro or lettuce if you have them, and serve immediately.
