Vegan Ceviche
Vegan ceviche is a refreshing, vibrant dish that captures the essence of traditional ceviche while replacing seafood with hearts of palm. Tomatoes, peppers, onion, cucumber and avocado marinate in a tangy blend of citrus juices and cilantro.
The citrus gently ‘cooks’ the vegetables, and a little jalapeño adds mild heat. Serve chilled with crispy tortilla chips or tostadas.
Method
Prep the hearts of palm
Cut the hearts of palm into small rounds or thin strips to mimic the texture of seafood.
Make the marinade
Whisk together the olive oil, orange juice, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, agave, salt and pepper.
Combine
In a large bowl, combine the hearts of palm, red onion, bell pepper, tomato, cucumber, jalapeño and cilantro. Pour the marinade over and gently toss.
Marinate
Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld and the hearts of palm absorb the marinade.
Season & serve
Taste and adjust with salt, pepper or lime. Serve on tortilla chips or tostadas, garnished with avocado, lime wedges and extra cilantro.
Tips for success
- Hearts of palm are delicate — mix gently to keep them intact.
- Add corn, diced mango or radish for extra crunch and flavor.
